I grew up in
After graduating from ODU and remembering as a youth listening to Edmond Babler talk about his ordeal as a Japanese held POW during WWII, I was inspired to write Ed's account using his own narrative, which he aptly entitled “1220 Days in Hell.” I have also had nine of my graduate papers and other articles published at www.militaryhistoryonline.com and am currently working on my next two books, tentatively entitled, World War II in Mid-America: Experience from rural Mid-America during World War II and Voices from Wisconsin: Memories from Wisconsin during World War II, as well as researching the Daniels family tree. In addition, I am co-authoring a book on the Boer War battle of Spion Kop with a colleague.
My wife Rebecca and I live with our cherished pets in Chesapeake, Virginia, where I've been employed for the past thirteen years by the U.S. Coast Guard as a training specialist and schoolhouse manager. In what little spare time I have, I also teach History courses online at the University of Phoenix and in person at Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Finally, I am very proud to add that my daughter, Brenda, is an active duty member of the Coast Guard and my son, Phillip, teaches fifth-grade in Florida. With the addition of Phillip's daughter, Marla, I am also a very proud grandfather.
