Karl Boesenhofer
For most of mankind the mind is a wonderful, mysterious place that never seems to shut down entirely until one is dead. Questions and wonderings are popping up ad infinitum, searching for answers as it were. One evening, when I was having trouble sleeping, I arose from my bed and started compiling a list of the things I most often wondered about from day to day. Then this collection of essays came forth and the collection became this small book which I submit for the pleasure of all who read it.
Karl Boesenhofer is a native Philadelphian who joined the Navy at the tender age of 17 and remained a career sailor for the next 20 years. He served as a Radioman and later as an Electronics Warrant Officer in a variety of positions on shore duty in the United States, and overseas, as well as aboard 5 ships. During this service he found much spare time to wonder and some of wonderings are included in this work of fiction. The Navy became his first career and he served honorably for over twenty years before retiring to civilian life where he worked in industry and finally turned to teaching Electronics in the Philadelphia School System. After his last retirement he has been a volunteer teacher of Electronics and Conversational English overseas.
