John V UdellJohn V. Udell lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife of forty plus years, their three legged cat Wretched and their Great Pyrenees dog Lucy. They have three children and five grand daughters. Udell is a descendent of a physician/innkeeper who let Exeter, England in 1645 after providing comfort to enemies of Parliament during the Civil Wars. He is the first in his family to fail law school, speak in front of a congressional committee, and receive a Ph.D. He wrote Alva's Adventure to honor a dear friend who died at the age of 62 without writing a single word about himself.
