About the Author

George F. Kohn retired as a special education teacher in the Marion County School system in Florida. With a degree in special education (K-12) and a Master's Degree in Administration and Supervision, he has over 30 years of experience teaching special-education students. He was born in Jacksonville and educated in St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Kohn has traveled to most of the Continental United States, Mexico City, Costa Rica, and the Amazon. In 1982, along with his childhood friend Leo Neuner, he drove from St. Petersburg, Florida to Cold Foot, Alaska and back - a distance of more than 15,000 miles. Their final destination was Prudhoe Bay at the top of the world! Unfortunately, they had to turn around at Cold Foot, Alaska, because they needed a special permit to continue the final 200 miles to Prudhoe Bay. George Kohn has enjoyed parachuting, scuba diving, cave exploring, fishing, photography, canoeing, and golfing. His leisure activities also include reading, sports, volunteer work in a state park, and working with schools. As an author, Mr. Kohn has published a series of books to benefit the youth.
