Currently, a professor at the University of North Florida, he stays busy teaching the next generation of coastal scientists and engineers to adapt to the changing hazards facing coastal communities. To understand why he is publishing this book of poetry, one has to know that Don had an identical twin brother, Ron, who was an avid artist, painter, and poet. Unfortunately, Ron was one of earliest victims of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s. It turned out these brothers were the first identical twins where one twin had AIDS and the other did not. This made them ideal participants in the initial study of AIDS at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which contributed significantly to the recognition that AIDS was due to a virus and to the isolation of this virus. In spite of Don's many trips to NIH to donate blood cells and bone marrow, and to participate in many medical experiments, Ron still passed away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with his death he left his voice\u003cbr\u003e And now I know I have no choice\u003cbr\u003e But to write these dreams he could not live\u003cbr\u003e Not for the soliloquy I could not give\u003cbr\u003e But now part of him lives on.......\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closeness they shared spans time and space and has made this book a labor of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351651860729,"sku":"9781950580576","price":13.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cXh0OTVvakFoMHA0RTlxK2pqSnF0Zz09_2b304e62-a809-4853-8755-f0f8f153bbc1.webp?v=1769800712","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/only-a-dream-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
