About the author:
Fred Michael Near was born to Hardy and Gerry Near in Shelby, Michigan, on February 7th 1939. At the age of about three, while the second World War was going on, the family moved first to California, then to Oregon, and finally settled in Everett, Washington, where his dad took a job with the local telephone company and his mom went to work in the shipyards building Liberty Ships to support the war effort. They lived in the Project in North Everett, where it was one adventure after another, and there were loads of other kids of the same status in life to play with. No drive-by shootings there, just a lot of fun and pranks. It was kind of like Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher. Now, in what seems like only a few years, but in reality 65 years have passed, Fred finds himself retired with only a bunch of fond (for the most part) memories and a growing distrust of the direction the government is leading us. “What a trip!” says the author.
