Douglas Chandler Graham was born in Roanoke, VA and known by his middle name, Chandler, until he enlisted in the Army Air Force in 1948, at which time they required him to use first name, middle initial and last name.
Therefore, everyone he made acquaintance with after that time knows him as Doug. That is the reason for all three names on the novel. The Air Force became a separate branch of service while he was serving.
Growing up in Roanoke County near an amusement park, he and his friends were fortunate to work in the park when they became twelve years old. One of the perks of this job was free access to the huge park swimming pool, reputed to be the largest swimming pool in the South at that time. Chandler became an outstanding swimmer.
After being honorably discharged from the Air force, Graham took a job delivering paint until he was old enough to apply to the police forces in the area. The Virginia State Police responded first but the Police Chief of Roanoke convinced him the Roanoke Police Force was the one he should join. The shift work he found was not conducive to his idea of family life after his first daughter was born and took a position as assistant manager of a finance company staying that for seven years. While doing this he supplemented his income as a real estate salesman.
The combined hours caused Graham to look for a better job with less hours. That job was a radio advertising salesman, a job at which he excelled. Seven years later he was ready to try something else and went into specialty advertising for the next several years.
Deciding to try something entirely different, Graham then went into selling new automobiles and worked for three different dealerships for the next several years. He applied to the post office and was hired s a rural mail carrier until an opening came up in the Roanoke Post Office and he worked at a couple of the branch offices until he was eligible to retire.
After retiring he became certified as a Virginia Private Investigator and later a bodyguard. Graham moved to Florida in 2000 and became active in community theater as actor, prop maker, and set designer.
