He joined the Naval Reserve in 1941 just prior to the U.S. entry into World War II and was commissioned a Naval officer in February 1944. After serving in the South Pacific in the amphibious forces, he continued his education and received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry. He worked for four different Fortune 500 companies in the agricultural chemical field and authored twenty-four U.S. patents and over one hundred foreign patents. He retired in 1982 as a Senior Vice President of The Scotts Company, a subsidiary of ITT. John and his wife, Betts, then “retired” to Florida and together entered the real estate field. About 10 years later, they finally retired fully and John then pursued his two hobbies: fishing and writing.
To date he has authored four non-fiction books: How The Navy and I Survived Each Other During WWII; Bedtime Stories By Chase (John's miniature schnauzer); Negotiation Techniques to Help Your Family, Your Business, and Yourself; and the present book, One Chance In A Lifetime.
In his latest book, John tells how he met his future wife, Betts, an Irish orphan girl on a blind date. He states, “It was the happiest first date I had ever experienced.” They were happily married for sixty-one years until the Lord called her back to Himself in 2008. Together they had six daughters all in the education profession and to date have eleven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and six foster children in third world countries.показать меньше
