Sometimes to the dismay of his parents.When Quaker Oats included cards showing how to draw Walter Lantz cartoon characters in their cereal, he began an interest in cartooning also.After taking a typing class in high school, he put one of his stories in print (naturally, a single, hand crafted copy with illustrations in color by crayons, of course). In his senior year he stared in two plays, “The Doctor in Spite of Himself” and “Smiling Through”.He spent four years in the Navy, two of those years as a helicopter crewman and sonar operator in a helicopter squadron attached to the carrier, USS Intrepid. When the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out in 1962, we were sent to the Caribbean to participate in the blockade.After the navy. he spent a few years at Idaho State University majoring in drama. He took a playwriting class and wrote a puppet play that was performed there.For several years, he has been studying screenplay writing, mostly self-taught. He has submitted the predecessor of this story to several screenwriting competitions and did succeed in advancing in the early stages of three competitions. This book is the transition of that screenplay into book form.view less
