Mal was born near Plymouth Rock in the 20th century. Reluctantly,
he tagged along with his parents as his father’s
career with the Ford Motor Company moved
them about the country. Mal has one sister
who is much older than he is. Mal and his
parents moved from Massachusetts to New York
State, to Michigan, to Massachusetts (again)
to Michigan (again) and finally to Illinois,
moving five times in six years. As a consequence,
Mal’s education was nearly useless.
Each summer for eight
years Mal enjoyed summer camp at North Woods
Camp which is still situated on Lake Winnipesaukee
in New Hampshire. Because no one told Mal
about New Hampshire winters and mud-season, he
moved to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire at age 21 and
bought an ancient Cape Cod House. There
he raised four boys and one girl. He still
lives in the same house today. Some of his
children have moved on.
Mal has written for the Weirs
Times since 1995. So far, in the years
he’s been in New Hampshire he’s been
in the TV business, owned a bowling alley and
operated an automotive repair garage. He
enjoys his antique radio hobby and his writing.
