K W NewensK. W. NEWENS grew up in southeastern Colorado, where he spent nearly all his time, outside of school, working for and with his two uncles, farming and feeding cattle. His father, a Navy veteran, worked for the Department of the Army. His father's serice memories, coupled with travel-ling to veteran-related reunions and meetings, sparked K. W.'s lifelong interest in military history and hardware. He graduated from Colorado State University as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and returned to southeastern Colorado to practice mostly large animal medicine. A small-scale stockman and animal lover, he has had to feed at least one animal (and sometimes dozens) of some kind every day of his life from age six on.
