David Boswell, now 91, started his education at Bertrand Russell's experimental school at Telegraph House. He progressed to Bedales and took a degree in engineering at London University where, after serving in the RAF during WW2, he met his wife Meg - married now for 65 years with 2 sons and 5 grandchildren. During a long career in microelectronics, he wrote several books on management and technology. As an asthma sufferer since age 15, he brought considerable medical knowledge and experience to helping fellow copd patients via a global cyber-Samaritan type website. During a long retirement in a lovely Dorset valley he returned to an earlier love of writing poetry and single page short stories. Still writing, he is a contributor to UKAuthors as 'Bozzz', some of the poems now appear in this collection - they are witty, shrewd comments on life around him.
