Rich is the first of three brothers to graduate from West Point. After a military career, he founded and sold a consulting engineering company and then began writing short stories, poetry and historical fiction (“The Parting” and “Eben Kruge”). He is currently penning “Song Bé,” a Vietnam flashback story that draws on his experiences as an artillery 2nd Lieutenant serving with an infantry company during the 1968 Tet Offensive. The narrative also chronicles the American civil rights movement and the reality of post-traumatic stress disorder.
