Where The Big Rivers Run

Doug Washer was born and raised in Southeast Missouri on a farm and attended a one room school house located on that farm for the first eight grades. He graduated from Charleston High School then attended what was then Southwest Missouri State College, graduating with the first B.A. in Philosophy awarded by that institution. He earned a Master's degree in Philosophy from the University of Missouri / Columbia before entering the United States Air force for four years. Upon leaving the USAF he began teaching Philosophy and other disciplines in the greater Kansas City area, including eleven years for Park University and twenty for Longview Community College. At the latter school, he received the Governor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, an award of which he is especially proud because it was voted by his peers. He has written poetry for some thirty years and is now working on a novel. He is married to his true love and has grown children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
