About the Author
Richard Palmquist, born July 1931, earned his B.A. in 1953, from Carthage College, then-Carthage, Illinois. Married to Dolores Mae Lund that year, he went on to a three-year education in theology. The couples fifty-seven-year marriage brought to them the joy of three sons and two daughters plus two dozen grandchildren and about a dozen great grandchildren. Dolores died in 2014.
His career in radio began with founding Family Stations, Inc., Oakland, California in 1957. After spending seven years there, developing the structure of that ministry with then six initial radio stations, he went on to a brief career consulting with clients to help them receive FM broadcast station permits from the Federal Communications Commission. He disdains the memory of the unjustified notorious promotion by Family Radio in 2011, of erroneous end of world reports promoted by Harold Camping, his successor.
From 1970, until retirement in 1997, he operated and owned radio KDNO, Delano, California, developed the Handi-Directory telephone directory and the once-weekly newspaper the ENTERPRISE NEWS, based in southern Tulare County, California.
He has authored Gramps, Ive Got a Problem, Creative Confusion, What on Earth are you in Heavens Name, Intimacy, Gateway to Hell or to Good Health, and Einstein, Money and Contentment.
For 21 years he has lived in Nipomo, California. His email address is richardpalqmuist@gmail.com and details of his work can be found at www.richardpalmquist.com
