Henry Clarke DoliveHenry Dolive has an abiding interest in family history and the lives of relatives with depth of character. His cousin, Marcellite Dolive Pearce Baker, was one such relative. Dr. Dolive was well-equipped to write Marcellite's memoirs due to her particpation and the collaboration of others close to her. Also, his academic background in American Studies, Political Science, and Philosophy; career academic and governmental writing and publication; and being a 5th generation Southerner, attuned him to the cultural, generational, and political changes reflected in Engaging Life and its companion book, A Touch of Glory!, the latter a prequel taking place two generations prior during Reconstruction. The characters in Engaging Life are alive and thre -dimensional, full of "vim and vigor", and the action is often humorous.Henry participates in a well-published writer's critique group and enjoys drafting children's stories and reading children's literature to second graders at an inner-city school. His last publication was entitled "Racoon Wars", set in his large roof garden. He lives in the woods with his musician wife, a border collie, and a golden retriever. Heating their house with wood stoves, he chainsaws and splits firewood. He enjoys photography, hiking, biking, kayaking, singing, and pickleball - and has a college-student daughter and an attorney son. Read More Read Less
