<div>{{BioHeader}} <br />
I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he commanded their net-tender). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech (1965) with minors in English and economics and an M.A. in psychology (1969). I spent two years in graduate school at Kent State where I majored in communication and minored in sociology, then took a job at the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 1971 (eventually finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in 1982). I was, from 1981 on, a full professor of communication and psychology there. Finally, I retired on September 1, 2018, after 54 years of teaching on the college level -- I began January 1965 -- at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. <br />
<br />
I began working on my first book in 1978. Since 1979 I have published 248 books -- with 54 publishers and more than 60 co-editors/authors -- most of whom I've never met. At UMA I averaged 5 books a year throughout my 47 years there. Until 2000, the majority of my work had been in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. After a ten year break, however, SamTeddy Publishing, and then Hemelein Publications, found me, and I'm back, working in other genres as well. I've 48 books out so far, with another 31 waiting to be printed. <br />
<br />
Oddly enough, publishing is a hobby I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. Marty knew Isaac, and one thing just seemed to lead to another. Ultimately, I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (193 books) and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, four grandchildren, and five grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, a TV series, and about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin is a wonderful companion and the love of my life. She is a LPN, a MSW, a LCSW, and, since retiring, a frequent co-editor of mine.<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm just a country boy and a very simple person. I've always treated my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square (no drinking, drugs, gambling, smoking, or gamboling around -- ever), colleagues used called me "the cube." My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I am blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from widespread experience in debate (11 years) and teaching public speaking (54 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable, and undoubtably boring person, who's been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life, and who resides on 29 country acres in a beautiful home with three wonderful women (my wife, my dog, and my cat). <br />
<br />
I can't imagine you'd want to know more about me -- but if you do, consult Volume 123 of Contemporary Authors. It contains a long phone interview they did with me. Or, better yet, just drop me an e-mail.</div>Dr. Charles G. Waughhttps://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bio:Charles_G._Waugh&diff=605844Bio:Charles G. Waugh2021-06-20T00:49:21Z<p>Dr. Charles G.

My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I am blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from debate (11 years) and teaching public speaking (54 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable, and probably somewhat boring person, who lives in a beautiful country home with three wonderful women (my wife, my dog, and my cat), and who's been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

<div>{{BioHeader}} <br />
I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he was transferred). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech (1965) with minors in English and economics and an M.A. in psychology (1969). I spent two years in graduate school at Kent State where I majored in communication and minored in sociology, then took a job at the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 1971. I am still there and have been a full professor of communication and psychology from 1981 on (eventually finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in 1982). <br />
<br />
Since January 1965 I have taught on the college level at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. This Fall 2017 semester I finish in my fifty-third, and last full, year. In the Fall of 2018, I start three years of one-half time phased retirement. <br />
<br />
Since 1978 I have published 233 books with 54 publishers and 62 co-editors/authors (most of whom I've never met). Until 2000, the majority of my work had been, in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But after a ten year break, a new publisher found me, and I'm back, working mainly in other genres. So far, I've 29 books out, 17 in press, and 21 more accepted for publication. (Oddly enough, publishing is a hobby I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. Marty knew Isaac, and one thing just seemed to lead to another. Ultimately, I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (192 books) and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, four grandchildren, and four grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin is a wonderful companion and the love of my life. She is a LPN, a MSW, a LCSW, and, since retiring, a frequent co-editor of mine.<br />

<div>Raymond S(miley). Spears was born in Belleview, OH, on August 2, 1876. When he was fifteen, he was diagnosed with a throat ailment and sent to the Adirondack Mountains to recuperate. During his time there, he developed a strong love for fishing, hunting, and trapping. After a stint as a reporter for the New York Sun, he turned to freelancing travel articles. By 1906 he began selling short stories to magazines, a total that eventually exceeded one hundred. In 1913, he started a Q&A column for Hunter-Trader-Trapper on woodcraft, conservation, and outdoor activities. Eventually, in the 1930s, he served as president of the American Trappers' Association.

E. J. Rath was the pen name of the husband and wife team of J. Chauncey Corey Brainerd and Edith Rathbone Jacobs Brainerd. J. Chauncey Corey Brainerd (the “J” appears to have been added to his name) was born in New York City on April, 16, 1874 and, at the time of his death, was Chief of the Washington Bureau for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Edith Rathbone Jacobs was born in Washington, DC, on April 22, 1884. They married on June 4, 1903 and collaborated on a number of interesting novels and stories until their premature deaths. (Mr. Brainerd was 48. Mrs. Brainerd was 38.) On January 28, 1922, the roof of the theater they were attending in Washington, DC, collapsed during a severe blizzard. And they were included among the nearly one hundred people crushed to death. Dr. Charles G. Waugh</div>Dr. Charles G.

Allen French was born in Boston, on November 28, 1870. His Bachelor’s degree was obtained from Harvard in 1894. Virtually all the rest of his life he lived in Concord, MA. A prolific writer, he was primarily known for his series of nonfiction Revolutionary War books (The Siege of Boston, 1911; Old Concord, 1915; The Day of Concord and Lexington, 1925; A British Fusilier in Revolutionary Boston, 1926; and The First Year of the American Revolution, 1934). French died, aged 75, at home in Concord, MA on October 6, 1946.</div>Dr. Charles G. Waughhttps://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bio:Charles_G._Waugh&diff=444339Bio:Charles G.

I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he was transferred). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech (1965) with minors in English and economics and an M.A. in psychology (1969). I spent two years in graduate school at Kent State where I majored in communication and minored in sociology, then took a job at the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 1971. I am still there and have been a full professor of communication and psychology from 1981 on (eventually finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in 1982). <br />
<br />
Since January 1965 I have taught on the college level at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. This Fall 2016 semester will finish my fifty-second year. <br />
<br />
Since 1978 I have published 230 books with 54 publishers and 62 co-editors/authors (most of whom I've never met). Until 2000, the majority of my work had been, in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But after a ten year break, a new publisher found me, and I'm back, working mainly in other genres. So far, I've 26 books out, 10 in press, and 20 more accepted for publication. (Oddly enough, publishing is a hobby I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. Marty knew Isaac, and one thing just seemed to lead to another. Ultimately, I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (193 books) and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, four grandchildren, and four grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin is a wonderful companion and the love of my life. She is a LPN, a MSW, a LCSW, and, since retiring, a frequent co-editor of mine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm just a country boy and a very simple person. I've always thought of my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square (no drinking, drugs, gambling, partying, running around, or smoking--ever); colleagues have called me a cube. My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I was blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from debate (11 years) and teaching public speaking (52 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable, and probably somewhat boring person, who has been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

Thomas Winthrop Hall (aka: Tom Hall) was a cavalry officer, author, and lawyer. He was born in Ogdensburg, NY in 1862. After graduating from West Point in 1887, he served in Arizona as second lieutenant in the 4th and 10th Cavalry at Forts Huachuca and Apache, from September 29, 1887 until January 1, 1889, when he resigned. Reenlisting during the Spanish-American War, he served as first lieutenant and regimental quartermaster for the 1st Volunteer Cavalry from May 2, 1898 until August 1, 1898, when he resigned once more. While serving with the 1st Cavalry, however, he participated in the battle of Las Guasimas, San Juan, and the siege of Santiago. In civilian life, he became a lawyer in IL (1889), a commandant of cadets at two military schools, and an editor for several publications. By 1889 he had started selling poems and short stories to magazines, and, despite his short life, eventually published nine books. At the age of 37, he died of sunstroke in Hannibal, MO, on August 24, 1900. (Dr. Charles G. Waugh)</div>Dr. Charles G.

Alvah Milton Kerr was born in Athens, OH, on July 22, 1853, the son of Joseph and Rebecca (Sanders) Kerr. When he was six months old, his family moved to an isolated farm in Wisconsin, and shortly thereafter his father died. He grew up working on the farm, roaming the woods in his leisure time, and receiving some education from Monroe, Wisconsin, public schools. In his teens, he taught himself telegraphy, and before becoming a poet, writer, and editor, he worked as a station master and train dispatcher for twelve years. He was married twice: to Florence Ophelia (Burgess) Kerr and Harrirt [not a typo] Anne (Sinclair) Kerr, and in later life, he and his family, were heavily involved in the theosophy movement. He published adventure stories for more than thirty years (from 1888 until his death) in magazines such as Blue Book, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Monthly, McClure's, Munsey's, the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post, and The Youth's Companion. More than thirty were railroad stories. Some were science fiction. At the age of 71, he died, in Los Angeles, on September 26, 1924. (This is based on three contemporary [that is, during his lifetime] articles about him and two family tree sites. Dr. Charles G. Waugh.)</div>Dr. Charles G.

I've always thought of my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square (no drinking, drugs, gambling, partying, running around, or smoking--ever); colleagues have called me a cube. My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I was blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from debate (11 years) and teaching public speaking (52 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable, and probably somewhat boring person, who has been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he was transferred). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech (1965) with minors in English and economics and an M.A. in psychology (1969). I spent two years in graduate school at Kent State where I majored in communication and minored in sociology, then took a job at the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 1971. I am still there and have been a full professor of communication and psychology from 1981 on (eventually finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in 1982). <br />
<br />
Since January 1965 I have taught on the college level at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. This Spring 2016 semester has finished the first half of my fifty-second year. <br />
<br />
Since 1978 I have published 230 books with 54 publishers and 56 co-editors/authors (most of whom I've never met). Until 2000, the majority of my work had been, in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But after a ten year break, a new publisher found me, and I'm back, working mainly in other genres. So far, I've 26 books out, 5 in press, and 11 more accepted for publication. (Oddly enough, publishing is a hobby I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. Marty knew Isaac, and one thing just seemed to lead to another. Ultimately, I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (193 books) and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, four grandchildren, and four grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin is a wonderful companion and the love of my life. She is a LPN, a MSW, a LCSW, and, since retiring, a frequent co-editor of mine.<br />

I am still there and since 1981 have been a full professor of communication and psychology.<br />
<br />
Since January 1965 I have taught on the college level at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. My fifty-first year began this Spring 2015 semester. <br />
<br />
Since 1978 I have published 220 books with 55 co-editors/authors and 54 publishers. The majority of my work has been, until recently, in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But after a ten year break, I'm back and working mainly in other genres. So far I've 16 anthologies out, 15 in press, and seven more accepted for publication. (Oddly enough, publishing is a career I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg, who knew Isaac, at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. One thing led to another and ultimately I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (193 books) and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, four grandchildren, and four grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin, is the love of my life. A wonderful companion, she has a MSW and is a LCSW (as well as a LPN). Since she retired, we have done several anthologies together. <br />
<br />
Personally, I'm just a country boy and a very simple person. I've always thought of my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square (no drinking, drugs, gambling, partying, running around, or smoking); colleagues have called me a cube. My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I was blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from debate (11 years) and teaching public speaking (50 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable person--who has been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

<div> Sir Harry Perry Robinson was a journalist, author, naturalist, and photographer. One of six children by Julian Robinson, a chaplain in the East India Company, and Harriett (Woodcock) Robinson, he was born in Lahore, India on November 30, 1859, but raised in Cheltenham, England. In 1883, after completing his education at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, he immigrated to the United States. He tried prospecting for gold out west, but went broke and turned to journalism as had his two brothers: Philip Stewart Robinson (1847–1902) and E. Kay Robinson (1857-1928). From 1887 to 1900 he produced and edited The Northwestern Railroader and then, after acquiring it, The Railway Age. In 1891 he married Mary Mowry from Minneapolis, MN. Later they were divorced, and after remarriage he fathered a son, John Bradstreet Robinson. In 1896, he helped manage Republican William McKinley's successful presidential campaign. In 1900 he returned to England to become a special correspondent for the London Times. In 1915 he was chosen by the British government to be the official war correspondent for The Times and the Daily News. He covered World War I from beginning to end, and for his efforts was granted the French Chevalier Legion of Honor (1919) and knighted by King George V (1920). By the end of his career, he had published 20 works (including a joint collection of short stories, 2 novels, 2 books on photography, 2 on animals, 4 on railroads, and 5 on World War I). At the age of 71, he died in London, on December 21, 1930.</div>Dr. Charles G. Waughhttps://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bio:Charles_G._Waugh&diff=377100Bio:Charles G.

I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he was transferred). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech in 1965 (with minors in English and Economics) and an M.A. in psychology in 1969.

I read your Bio whilst prettying-up the format, and wondered about "two children, ''two stepchildren'', two grandchildren, and ''three stepchildren''" - should the last be stepgrandchildren (or grandstepchildren, not sure which is more correct)?

<br />
In your notes, you say "Not much fantasy, science fiction, or horror appears in them." Can you tell me <i>which</i> stories in this collection actually are "fantasy, science fiction, or horror". We have to have some of those in there in order to include the book, and we need to know which ones qualify, so they can be added the contents for the book. (I assume this would be a book where we would list "partial contents".) Thanks, [[User:Chavey|Chavey]] 02:29, 18 December 2013 (UTC)<br />
: As Dr. Waugh seems to not be watching this I'll take a look. A quick scan found that ''Christmas on the Prairie'' has {{t|1375485|Hungry old witch}} by Charles J. Finger and one other story, ''Wonderful Mirror'', by the same author. I've put in a hold request and so can add the that publication and titles for the specfict when it comes in.

You are dealing with an electronic cluck. When I grew up cars had running boards and there was no TV. Things would get done faster if you emailed me at Kittyman@peoplepc.com or if you provided me with an email. Also, I think we could do some anthologies together if you are interested. Charles<br />
<br />
I have accepted the submission to add [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?497204 this record] to the database but require further information. Because this database covers only speculative fiction, you should add content records for those stories which are spec-fic. The extensive notes you added to the "Note to Moderator" field disappeared the moment the submission is accepted. They do not become part of the record. That field should not be used for data ''about the publication''. It should only be used to provide the moderator information ''about the submission'' which helps them in the decision to accept or reject the submission. <br />
<br />
Further information required:<br />
* Binding type: trade paperback (softcovered books taller than 7 inches) <br />
* Page count: 495<br />

I was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 18, 1943. I am an only child. My mother was Isabelle D. Waugh (an English teacher) and my father was Gordon B. Waugh (an electrical engineer). During World War II my father served as a naval officer. I spent the first year of my life in Boston, MA (where he was stationed), and the second in Portland, ME (where he was transferred). From two until twelve I lived in the country community of Laurel Lake, NJ. Dad started working for IBM, and a few years later was reassigned to its home base in Endicott, NY. After attending high school there, I was accepted at Syracuse University where I earned a B.S. in speech in 1965 (with minors in English and Economics) and an M.A. in psychology in 1969. I spent two years in graduate school at Kent State where I majored in communication and minored in sociology (eventually finishing my Ph.D. dissertation in 1982), then took a job at the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 1971. I am still there and since 1981 have been a full professor of communication and psychology.<br />
<br />
Since January 1965 I have taught on the college level at Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Kent State University, and the University of Maine at Augusta. My fifty-first year begins this Spring 2015 semester. <br />
<br />
Since 1978 I have published 219 books with 54 co-editors/authors and 54 publishers. The majority of my work has been, until recently, in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But now, after a ten year break, I'm back and working mainly in other genres. So far I've 15 anthologies out, 15 in press, and a slew more on the way. (Oddly enough, publishing is a career I probably would not have had but for a coincidence. In 1974 I met Martin Harry Greenberg, who knew Isaac, at a Boston Science Fiction convention where we both had gone to hear Dr. Asimov speak. One thing led to another and ultimately I was Marty's most frequent collaborator (193 books) and and Isaac's second most frequent collaborator (80 books). Both of them gave me much help and encouragement, for which I'll forever be indebted. And, perhaps because of that, I have consistently tried to help others as I, myself, was helped.)<br />
<br />
I have two children, two stepchildren, three grandchildren, and four grand-stepchildren. My son, Eric-Jon Rossel Tairne (nee: Waugh) has done about thirty books and my granddaughter, Tara Nicole Azarian, about fifty feature films. My first wife (1968-2000), Carol-Lynn Rossel, is a very talented woman: an author, photographer, musician, and doll artist. My second wife (2001- ), Kathy Chazin, is the love of my life. A wonderful companion, she is a LPN, a LCSW, and, since her retirement, a frequent co-editor of mine. <br />
<br />
Personally, I'm just a country boy and a very simple person. I've always thought of my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square (no drinking, drugs, gambling, partying, running around, or smoking); colleagues have called me a cube. My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I was blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from my stretches in debate (12 years) and teaching public speaking (50 years).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable person--who has been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

Besdes being a wonderful companion, she is a LPN, a LCSW, and, since her retirement, my frequent co-editor. <br />
<br />
Personally, I'm just a country boy and a very simple person. I've always thought of my body as a vehicle for carrying my head from room to room, and am so square; colleagues have called me a cube. My success as anthologist and author, in addition to Marty and Isaac's boost, has resulted from the creative mind and good memory with which I was blessed, the work ethic my family instilled in me, and a great ability to structure things acquired from many years spent in debate (12) and teaching public speaking (50).<br />
<br />
In summary, I am a happy, stable person--who has been lucky enough to have had a full, rich and tranquil life.<br />

I can't imagine you'd want to know more about me--but if you do, consult Volume 126 of Contemporary Authors. It contains a long phone interview they did with me. Or, better yet, just drop me an e-mail.</div>Dr. Charles G. Waugh
