Richard H. Pitcairn

Since 2006 I've been living with my wife Susan Hubble Pitcairn (a professional artist) in Sedona, Arizona. I am retired from active practice but I continue to teach, offering a year long course in veterinary homeopathy to licensed veterinarians.
I'm often asked how I became interested in alternative approaches to veterinary medicine. Here's how it happened:
I graduated from veterinary school in 1965, from the University of California at Davis, California. Starting in a mixed practice (small animals, farm animals, horses, circus animals) I saw a wide variety of health problems and also learned much more how to manage cases. But I did not see the results that I expected to have using the treatments learned in veterinary school and this, to me,

Kenneth Martin

Kenneth Martin was born in Belfast in 1939. He grew up in Bangor, Co. Down, where he was adopted into a poor family. He began work on his first novel, Aubade, at the age of sixteen, and when it was accepted for publication by Chapman and Hall with an advance of £100, he moved to London. Aubade, published the day after Martin turned eighteen in 1957, was a modest success, selling well enough to run into a second printing in 1958 and was also published in America. Martin followed his debut with two more novels, Waiting for the Sky to Fall (1959) and A Matter of Time (1960), but the reviews of these novels were largely disappointing, and Martin turned from fiction to journalism.
