Jack Nolan

Jack Nolan grew up in Northern Indiana, where he worked for a time, like his father and grandfather, for United States Steel, Gary Works. An undergraduate degree from Ball State University punched his ticket for a three-year hitch with Army Intelligence -- 1967 - 1970 -- during which he was stationed at Fort Holabird, then on civilian status in Can Tho and Saigon and at Ft. Meade, training others.

A doctorate in history from Columbia University opened the door to many happy years of teaching college-bound students at University High School, Tucson, where he taught AP American literature and AP European history.

He lives with his wife, Patricia, in Providence, Rhode Island, and is happy to receive emails from readers and from his daughters, Kathleen and Heather, at Vietnam.Remix.1968@gmail.com.
