Cleveland, Ohio native C. R. Yeager has survived the Cuyahoga River fire, Mayor Perk's equally flambic hair, and numerous pro sport mistakes by Lake Erie. His taste for word play and witty observation developed while majoring in English with honors at John Carroll University. Half-British by birth, he tries not to overcommemorate his great-grandparents' publicanism on visits to Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-Upon-Avon. He and his wife Marsha adopted their daughter Anna from Nanchang, China, where she would like to return one day--- by way of Hawaii.
