David AlvordDavid Alvord resides in northern California and for the past few years has been employed as an educator at a college close to his home. Besides his duties as an educator, he has written numerous stories. As an educator and author, both pursuits have roven to be challenging while being highly rewarding simultaneously. For the most part, his stories are written for personal enjoyment and creative growth, but occasionally one gets out to be published, such as the one you are about to read. In his spare time, he enjoys getting out and taking advantage of the abundant recreational opportunities available in the area in which he lives and enjoys hiking, camping, kayaking and fishing in the surrounding mountains, lakes, rivers and streams. He is also a family man with three grown daughters and eight grandchildren. They enjoy each other's company very much and get together every Sunday for family dinner... which he cooks.
