About the Author
William Sumrall has lived in an interesting array of places. Although his pedigree hails from Mississippi for many generations, he was the first to break that trend when he was born in Florida. From Rhode Island to Alaska, William (he likes to be called Bill) has met an interesting mix of people and seen many fascinating places.
After finishing high school in Texas, he served three years in Germany, having gotten to know friends and seen places that add to his experiences in life. Upon completion of his enlistment, he attended a junior college in North Texas where he graduated with an AA degree. He went on to take a BA with a major in Spanish at a university in Southeastern Oklahoma.
Not content to settle down, the yearning for adventure could not be resisted, and he re-enlisted as a rifleman in the Marine Corps. When he was 30 years old he married his wife, Maria. By then he was a sergeant in a rifle company. With his re-enlistment completed, he moved with his wife to rural Southeastern Oklahoma, where he works as a nurse at a rural hospital.
A few of his many hobbies include fishing for catfish, although these days he always releases the fish; he has it not in his heart to hurt them. An avid amateur herpetologist, he has kept many snakes and lizards as pets, and maintains an interesting array of aquatic life in his aquariums as well. Not limiting his peculiar interests in the Natural Sciences to the worldly, he also has a ten inch Newtonian reflecting telescope, which he has trained to the heavens on numerous occasions. As a matter of fact, he has located and identified every Messier Object in the night sky using antiquated star charts.
Bill has a proclivity toward the shooting sports, as well; he has a fine assortment of handguns with which he likes to practice on his pistol range.
Always having been a voracious reader, his delvings have spanned the gamut of adventure, including mountain climbing, polar exploration, SCUBA diving, Amazon exploration and closest to his heart - Military History.
While certainly not a Renaissance man, he certainly is widely read and speculative.
