Author Don Farrell brings the skill of a naturalist and the heart of a poet to this work. His experiences as a father, husband, veteran, environmentalist, singer and world traveler have formed a creative, optimistic approach to life. In 2011, enjoying a fulfi lling career of 25 years in environmental health and safety and with his two daughters now adults, Don was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosisLou Gehrigs disease). Mr. Farrell views his increasing physical limitations as both a challenge and an opportunity. In 2012, he left the emergency response program at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to write, travel and enjoy life as a retiree. Support from family, friends and a loving wife, who is also his caregiver, allows Don to use his creative writing gift to inspire people and advocate for ALS patients everywhere. Don and his wife, Joan, live in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, where music and views of farmlands and sunsets make each day a memory to treasure. When the weather is fair, there you will find Team D/J and three cats on the porch reading, writing and planning their next adventure.
