Author Description

None's Been Fun is the story of two fun-loving, unusually lucky non-conformists. When D'Alton and Dorice were married 1925 they had agreed to try to have no children. There was no Pill; little was known about family planning. Luck they would need and luck they had! Being childfree has permitted them to add to their education, change careers, travel extensively, meet interesting people and support their causes. All this they tell with candor, liberal doses of humor and inspiring philosophy. Thrill with them as the Great Depression changed the direction of their lives and they take their first trip abroad-to Mexico in 1934. Laugh with them as they survive mishap after mishap with foreign currencies and languages while over the years they travel in twenty-five countries on three continents. Share their concerns as they saw World War II approaching from their vantage points in Asia and Europe. Struggle with them as they learn to paint and to speak and understand Spanish in their later years. Live with them in the many homes they made in California, the nation's capital, Florida, Texas and Mexico. Relax with them in their spacious apartment in John Knox Village of West Texas-a life-care retirement complex and their answer to, "What do you do in your old age when you don't have kids to take care of you?”
