D. Ralph Young was born in Kentucky in the mid-1920s and grew up on a farm in central Kentucky. He spent his years there before entering World War II and serving in the Pacific Theater as a Gunner’s Mate on the USS J. Franklin Bell. After marriage and a college degree from University of Kentucky he and his family spent 40 or so years in St Louis in between their stents in Thailand, Malaysia, Oman, Iran, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia where he practiced his career as a power engineer. He retired (several times) to Greasy Ridge Road in Central Kentucky, his birthplace, to establish an orchard. Currently he spends his time traveling back and forth between his homes in SW Ohio and Kentucky as well as cruising on ships. This is the second edition of his first book about his life story.
