Richard J (Rick) HilberThis author of the babyboomer generation lives, works, and writes in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he has resided since 2001. His work life has been a rich variety of experiences, from carpenter's helper, to taxicab driver, to school teacher, to bank teler, to guardian ad litem for child protection, to attorney, to bus driver. He continues his adult lifetime pursuit of his art as a poet as he enters into his retirement years. The legacy he most desires for his children and grandchildren is premised on his love of his native state of North Dakota. The life a parent gives us is the first gift of life, while the life one gives oneself is the second gift of life. He hopes that you will find in his collection of poems, Down the Road, a Peace, such a marker of a life given into being. Read More Read Less
