Overview

The ochre hand was imprinted by an unknown individual upon an ancient cave wall ages ago. This book was written by an individual in a modern age. The common factor is both individuals lived a real-life in vastly different times. If you were to gaze upon an ochre hand on a cave wall, you may wonder who that individual was, what was his life like, when did he live? You would be unable to decipher anything about him. If you read The Ochre Hand, you will identify with many of the poems, stories, and essays. Some you will agree with, others to strongly disagree, all will make you think and hopefully to smile about the similarities of living. The Ochre Hand was written by an engineer who became a philosopher living an easy, joyful life. The ancient who imprinted the ochre handprint lived a life that only the fittest could survive. What a joy to live today.

Author Information

Don was born on December 21, 1935, in Manville, a small New Jersey factory town where he spent his early childhood. He graduated with high honors from Rutgers University in 1963 earning a degree in chemistry. He took a position with prestigious Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey and continued his education with a graduate study program in chemical physics at the Brooklyn Institute of Technology. He moved to Miami, Florida in 1965 and shortly thereafter took a job on Eniwetok Atoll in the South Pacific followed by one in Tripoli Libya, then one in Saudi Arabia that lasted some eighteen years more. He retired in May 1991 at the age of fifty-six. He was lured out of retirement to take a position with Johnson Controls at Cape Canaveral. Working at the Cape on the space program and specifically on the launch towers was an exciting challenge. He retired once again in 1996 and purchased a seventy-three-acre ranch in Colmesneil, Texas in the deep East Texas piney woods. Was a rancher for seventeen years on one of the most beautiful pieces of God's green Earth. Moved to Naples, Florida in 2015. Today he decided it was time to write a book with a poetic take on life.
