William & Denise Murley were married for thirty-seven years before Denise passed away in June of 2005. They lovingly co-authored this and many other writings. Denise’s creativity and William’s writing ability were a strong combination. As William recently wrote, “It would certainly be a validation to see our work in print.” William is a former water treatment plant operator who enjoys playing cards, tennis, reading, and examining the proper use of the English language. Though the Murleys lived in several locales together, including Chicago, Hawaii, and Florida, William now resides in Nebraska.
