Athirst in Spirit

Beschreibung

Richard Valencia is in the autumn of his life. He has suffered the tragic loss of his first wife and daughter. He has enjoyed a successful marriage of thirty years before the loss of his second wife to cancer. He has known the laughter and joy of grandchildren. Yet there remains an empty void in his heart. For several years, he has dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge in several disciplines to better understand the world and his purpose and destiny in it. Plasma cosmology, religion, and mythology are all disciplines that, together with traditional scientific pursuits, provide him a better understanding of the universe. He is working to index that knowledge in hopes of providing data from which he can begin to learn the answers. Will the love of a woman bring a deeper understanding to his quest?

Eugene has had a lifelong love of philosophy which has guided his life since early childhood. He grew up in the desert Southwest of Arizona and can remember as a boy when the state had less than a million people in it. The vast empty deserts, the mountains, and the indigenous people were always easily accessible, often within or just beyond the city limits. As a youth he spent long hours alone in the desert and mountains learning and appreciating the solitude of sparsely populated places. After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1964 with a BS in Zoology he was called to active duty with the United States Navy and served until his retirement in 1986. During that service he qualified as a surface officer and a Naval Flight Officer assigned to various fighter squadrons embarked on several different aircraft carriers. He had two combat tours in South East Asia in the Tonkin Gulf off the coast of North Vietnam. He retired from the Navy in 1986. After retirement from the Navy he completed a second career with the Arizona Department of Public Safety where he served as a police dispatcher and licensing agent for private investigators and agencies and security guards and agencies. He worked with uniformed highway patrol officers and with criminal investigators. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.
