Charles L DumasCharles' career, after Navy service as an Electrician's Mate on the icebreaker USS Burton Island (1954-58), was in engineering and operations management in the computer industry beginning in 1961 after graduation from the University of Alabama. Upon etiring in 1997, he started a home remodeling business. At that same time, he also began an intensive hobby involving detailed research, leading to writing essays on many contemporary topics such as climate change, energy policy, Islamic terrorism, politics, the culture wars, the economics of government, religion, and more. That avocation then developed into an increasingly broader appreciation and understanding of our founding and the Constitution. That work then naturally morphed into producing this book.He is married to Sam Dumas, and their family includes five children and twelve grandchildren.This book, now in its 5th edition, began as a project to better inform his grandchildren about America's founding and the singular uniqueness of our Constitution.
