Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author grew up on a farm in the Rogue River Valley in southern Oregon. After serving three years in the army, he went on to receive his BA in journalism at the University of Oregon. He worked seven years in advertising in San Francisco, Honolulu and Medford, Oregon. Since 1959 Dick’s interests have taken him to entirely different places. He always had an interest in foreign languages, especially Spanish and Russian. This interest lead him to work 30 years as a high school foreign language teacher. It also lead him to make 17 trips to Russia and at least 10 trips to various Spanish-speaking countries. After walking the Camino de Santiago in 2008, Dick and his wife, Jane, have gone back to Spain every year to be volunteer innkeepers at various pilgrim hostels along the way.

It has always been remembered as one of Dick Carter’s “adventures of a lifetime.” In the past few years, thanks to the digital age, publishing has become easier and more economical. For that reason the story that needed to be told now is.
