    J'Tone

    A Most Extraordinary Author JTone has held a variety of jobs in several areas of the world. He travels when the spirit moves him and obtains work for the value of the experience rather than the pay. He has written and worked in an Ontario logging camp; an isolated farm in Red Cloud, Nebraska; on a fishing trawler out of Aberdeen, Scotland, among others. He has been a highly successful businessman as well as a member of the hobo commune on the Kansas prairie. During his 3 years as a fire fighter at Engine 27s (a very active, heavy duty outfit) JTone often ran shotgun on Rescue I. His observations here provide the material for the poem, Rescue Call, to be found in this volume.
