About the Book

Caleb Warner glances up from his desk again to read the familiar, handwritten words on a scrap of paper taped onto his wall: "Grant me to find the task for which my talents fit me..." For almost 90 years he has sought to find the tasks to fit his talents. This chronicle recounts his life. Educated as a marine engineer, 21-year-old Ensign Caleb Warner served on a U.S. Navy repair ship off the south coast of England during the Normandy Invasion. A versatile trumpet player and small sailboat competitor, he later married and raised a family while working in New England's burgeoning post-war, high-tech industries. An avid problem solver and inventor, he developed and built contemporary harpsichords, then introduced an electronic harpsichord in the pre-synthesizer age. Ultimately, he discovered that he was, at his best, an entrepreneur. His New England-based one-man business drew on a cadre of highly-skilled colleagues, "guild"-style. Through this work, Warner and his peers tackled a series of engineering and technological projects in the medical and applied acoustics fields. Throughout it all, this husband and father also found time to be a musician, sailor and active community member.
About the Author: This book was created in the spirit of collaboration. Author CALEB WARNER combined his engineering education, a fascination in all things technical, and an avid interest in music to create an entrepreneurial career. He adds to this a lifelong love of boats and involvement in his community. He lives in Bedford, Massachusetts. Co-author A. WENDY WARNER worked in the non-profit sector for more than two decades in all aspects of facilitating grants for schools and community services. She encouraged her father to give voice to his life in this book and then partnered with him in the writing process. She lives in Lexington, Massachusetts. Editor ANNE FARLOW MORRIS ("Nancy"), a cousin and good friend, also joined in on the collaborative effort. She has researched and written two volumes of family memoirs, co-authored a self-teaching manual on the use of environmental information in local land use planning, and edited a detailed analysis of the transportation and storage of nuclear wastes. She lives in Etna, New Hampshire.
