Biographie de l'auteur

Robert Molander was born and raised in Brockton, Mass. He graduated from Brockton High School in 1941 and in December of that year joined the Navy following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He served four years in the Navy. His first ship was the battleship Wyoming, followed by transfer to the Naval Armed Guard, attaining the rank of Signalman Second Class. The Armed Guard consisted of Navy personnel -- gunners, radio operators, signalmen and medics -- serving alongside Merchant seamen on Merchant Marine ships. During World War II, 710 of these ships were sunk, and 1,810 Armed Guard sailors were killed in action. Following his honorable discharge from the Navy, Molander took advantage of the GI Bill and was graduated from Fresno State College with a degree in journalism. He was hired as a reporter on The Fresno Bee staff, and later served as executive sports editor, city editor and ended his career on the Bee as senior editor. He and his wife, Peggy, have two sons, five grandchildren and a dog named Sing Sing.
