Fwd: WHO IS R.D. and WHAT QUALIFIES HIM to EXPOUND on...

Preface to Abbreviated Bio: We never purchase a non-fiction book until

we've read the "About the Author" section. We need to know how much

credence to attach to the author's words. We never spend good money

on a book without AtA. We felt that after all this time that you might

require more data on his credentials.

Subject: WHO IS R.D. and WHAT QUALIFIES HIM to EXPOUND on...

Politics, Economics, Science, Technology and more? Besides being

the proud owner of advanced-CMT and A.D.D. (regular, as well as, two

special forms), he enjoyed an unorthodox childhood and adolescence.

Becoming interested in astronomy and astronautics at the age of

seven and catching the political bug by age ten. He was reading the

newspaper everyday sans comics and sports and attending meetings

at the local republican club by age thirteen (the only kid there; until                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     had  verbal altercation with the leadership at age twenty-one). Unorthodoxy not by

design. Don't wish to generate false impression: anything but a nerd).

Rick is much prouder of his self-education then his formal. With

respect to schooling: six schools after high school. There were

(he hated school not finding the classroom particularly conducive

to learning): College of ...., associate of arts degree in liberal arts

with a concentration space history and science journalism (Rick

completed his junior year); York Institute, certificates in general

science; ... Planetarium, certificates in space science; Center for

Degree Studies, credits in business management; Davis Computer

School, certificates in computer applications; ... School for

Medical Assistants, certificate in E.K.G. Plus awards not worth mentioning

(attempt at demonstrating modesty).

His other interests include: American History, Geology and Foreign

Policy, Anthropology, Physics, Biology, Entertainment History.

More then Most: A.D.D.-ed, Rick.
