Author Information

Owen Loof is a Vietnam veteran, retired from two strikingly different careers. First was a twenty-seven-year tenure at the New York City Transit Authority as what is now titled a station agent. While still working for NYC Transit, he earned a master's degree in history from St. John's University. When Loof retired from that post, armed with his pension and degree, Loof moved to Hawaii with his wife, Peggy. While job searching, miraculously through happenstance, he found himself hired as an American history teacher at Damien Memorial School in the Kalihi section of Honolulu. After twelve years living in idyllic Hawaii, life took an unexpected turn. Peggy passed away. So, he crossed back over the Pacific, and made his way back to his oceanside hometown, Rockaway Beach, New York, to be closer to his two daughters and grandchild. Rockaway will always be home.
