Biographical Note

Lawrence David Kusche was born on November 1, 1940. He worked as a reference librarian at Arizona State University from 1969 to 1975. His book Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved is the product of his work on reference questions asked by library users. After the book was published, Kusche took a leave of absence from the Library to make a lecture tour of the U.S. and Canada. The demands of the lecture circuit and new writing projects eventually caused Kusche to resign his position at ASU. He went on to write several books, including Flight 19, Popcorn Cookery, and How to Shape Up Your Hips and Thighs.
