I am a retired chemist who has spent a great portion of my career as a technical writer. I have published poetry over the last 30 years in a variety of literary magazines. I am writing personal memoirs of World War II vets that are published in the local paper and I am putting an anthology of these together. I am also working on the personal memoirs of a WWII paratrooper in the 101st airborne who was killed in action in Belgium in 1944, as told through his letters (about 60) that detail his experiences from boot camp to jump school to D-Day and Belgium in Operation Market Garden.
