Ralph Levy is a retired educator who lived and worked in New York City for most of his life until he retired to Boca Raton, Florida. Now, he spends the winter polishing his golf game in the morning and writing in the afternoon. He hopes to live to be ninety so that he can shoot his age. In the evening, he drinks wine and frequently dines out or goes to the theater with his lovely wife, Evelyn. He enjoys musicals best, Carousel being his favorite. During the summer months, he resides in Lenox, Massachusetts, following the same routine but in addition, he enjoys classical music at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Twice a year and sometimes more, Ralph and his wife take trips to various places around the world. But most of all, he enjoys traveling in the United States, this magnificent country.

During the Korean War, Ralph served in the army, spending ten and one-half months in Korea where he served as a sergeant in the Signal Corps.
