Don Owen was born in a log cabin, furnished with a manger, in Brooklyn. New York in 1942. This book allows him to add "published author" to his resume'...not that he's still looking for a job! At age four, his parents moved to Lindenhurst, a town about 35 miles east of Brooklyn, on Long Island. He graduated from Lafayette College in Easton, PA in 1963. He went to law school (Dickinson, in Carlisle, PA ) in 1968, after two years as an officer in the US Army and three years teaching American government and English at Easton Area High School. After graduating from law school in 1971, he worked briefly for a law firm in Harrisburg, PA and then went into a solo practice of law in the Harrisburg area. Don likes to refer to himself as "I'm not a lawyer who was once just a teacher, but a teacher, who just decided to go to law school." In 1980, he began a 23 year career, working for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, as a "teaching" attorney and Director of Board Development. He has two sons, both of whom live and work in the Harrisburg PA area.
