Autorenporträt
Charles "Bud" Vear, the editor, was born in 1926 and is the oldest member of the Vear Clan still alive. He grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, a small Suburb of Chicago, spent two years in the Navy during World War II and returned to earn an undergraduate degree from DePauw University. His dream of becoming a doctor took a while to blossom. He first earned a Master's Degree in Social Work from Indiana University and worked for the Chicago Boys Club in the inner city of Chicago, trying to turn troublesome teenage gangs into respectable groups. After a 15 month stint in the hospital with tuberculosis, he taught middle school science and math for seven years before finally pursuing his doctor dream after he and his wife had eight children. After finishing medical school, he became a small town Family Physician in Hillsdale, Michigan for the next 23 years, delivering over 2,000 babies in a town of 8,000. He and his wife, Gloria, ended up with twelve children. At this time, there are 43 grandchildren, 31 Great Children and 1 Great Grandchild. Gloria and Bud are co-authors of "Love, Laughter and Dreams", the sometimes frolicking story of raising twelve children and pursuing their dreams. Bud also authored a book, "Ask Grandpa", which shares his old age wisdom. His wife of 68 years passed away in 2019.
