Short’s Stories, Name Dropping, is the second in a series recounting, with more humor and wit, the author’s life and travels. Ronan Short was born in London, England in 1940 and brought up at the British National Institute for Medical Research, where his father was in charge of the animal division.
His early life was full of adventures and encounters. This volume, Name Dropping, Mill Hill, London, NW7, 1950-63, continues his storytelling from adolescence to age 23. He was one of the last people to emigrate by boat from Liverpool to America.
About the author
Ronan Short was born in London, England soon after the start of World War II. After twenty-three years of an event-filled youth, he emigrated by boat from Liverpool to New York, where he worked in medical research as he had in England. He made his way via California to Fairbanks, Alaska by 1966.
He has worked, taught, married, and raised a family in the Golden Heart City. He and his wife of 40+ years, Barbara Rinker, have two grown daughters and four grandchildren. Ronan has traveled extensively and is now shocked that he has lived in Alaska for over 50 years. (He’s found the road to the airport, but getting a ride at 4:00 a.m. and 40 below zero is another matter!)
