Mark D. Shannon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and grew up just north of Boston. Mark’s outer explorations have included back streets since boyhood, when he accompanied his father on business trips and developed an ease within diverse circles. Mark’s inner explorations were nurtured by his mother, an academic with a voice rich in perspectives, who took time not only to teach but to listen to her children. Mark’s present course includes passing on those traditions of good parenting to his son and daughter, now ages eight and five. He has a deep love for creating art, for travel, and especially for his children, who he currently resides with in San Francisco, California.

a MEMOIR by Harold E. Grice


Dear Polly, Have you read Harold’s Country Boy book? It’s a humdinger! Sure brings back the memories—the farm, the boys, Helen and Roy and those kids. Talk about mischief, swiping the carrots and then taking the tie-down rope for a swing. Never saw Oscar so mad as when the load came off. Course he couldn’t wallop ‘im with Helen right there. Then that thing with the dog, blood all over, near scared us to death. And that old sow gonna eat him. Never been so frightened as when the burglar took off with him. I thought he’d do something terrible to the boy. I tell you, Polly, the little scamp kept me up nights wondering what he was a gonna get into next. Made me feel right at home again. Bye for now, GRAN’MA

Be sure to read Harold’s “California Country Boy” You hear me?

I was born and raised in California. My early years were spent on a farm, then small towns or country, and then on a ranch. Family association was mostly country as I am sixth generation Californian, and before the war I was related to nearly everyone in the central coastal area. My early life was pretty exciting.
