IIwas born in Modesto, California just before WW II, lived in Stockton California until 1957 when I moved to San Francisco with my family. There, I attended my last year of high school, graduating from Balbao High, in June 1958. By 1958, I was beginning to become involved with competitive tournament chess, which was the passion/foolishness of my life for the next six to seven years.
I went to Alaska in 1963/64, and spent the next 33 years there, mostly working in fisheries, fisheries science, and wildlife biology. In my early 40's, I got out of the Fish and Game business, and went into Community College teaching in Kodiak, Alaska. I took an early retirement, mostly because of health and artistic concerns at age 55, and moved to Port Angeles, Washington in 1996.
I lived on the Olympic Peninsula for 9 years, moving to the State of Hawaii in June, 2005 --mostly out of a feeling of extraordinary curiosity about the South Seas, packed about by myself since I was a young kid.
I stayed two years, three months on the Big Island--along the Hamakua Coast, the "rainy" side of the island. In 2007, I moved back to Washington State.
Now, in the winter of 2013-14, I conceived and started the John David Solf Memorial Expedition to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. In October of this year, I ventured the 2400 miles from Port Hadlock, WA (to) Brownsville, Texas. My goal: To list, study and experience the critters in this unique ecosystem, then get the hell out before 5/1 when the sidewalks start vaporizing.
