Contributor Bio:  Peters, Charles Born near Hartley, Iowa, Charles Peters spent some time in an orphanage before being adopted at age eleven by foster parents who lived on a farm. After graduating from the Lytton Consolidated School, he worked in the dairy industry, and later for a hydraulic manufacturer. Author of Billy Oliver: Holding On To Memories, Peters is now retired and living with his wife of more than forty-seven years in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where he enjoys seeing wild animals in his backyard such as deer, raccoon, fox, and coyote, and wild birds such as turkeys, ducks, geese, and barn owls. Believing the works of nature can be both thrilling and soothing at the same time, he says Billy's childhood experiences parallel with many of his own. He felt Billy's story had to be told before it was forgotten forever.
