Ronan Short

Ronan Short was born in London, England soon after the start of World War II. After twenty-three years of an event-filled youth, he emigrated by boat from Liverpool to New York, where he worked in medical research as he had in England. He made his way via California to Fairbanks, Alaska by 1966. He has worked, taught, married, and raised a family in the Golden Heart City.

(He's found the road to the airport, but getting a ride at 4:00 a.m. and 40 below zero is another matter!)
