About the Author

The book was written at the request of my daughter when she was five years old. I wrote about my hobby of growing an English rose garden, breeding and field trialing English Springer Spaniels.

I wrote the book while traveling on back roads of Iowa to various country court houses where I served as an official court reporter in the Iowa District Court judicial system.

My wife and I now live in Waterloo, Iowa and travel extensively to visit nine grandchildren from St. Paul, Mn to St. Louis, Mo.
