Autorenporträt
Charles Fasanaro Charles Fasanaro withdrew from his graduate studies in chemistry at North Carolina State University in 1967 to work for Behavior Systems, Inc., training dogs to detect landmines and trip wires in Vietnam. In 1969, he went to Vietnam as a civilian volunteer to work on a secret project designed to identify innocent villagers from the Viet Cong as well as to assist the mine-dog platoon members. His work saved many lives. When he returned from Vietnam, he earned his M.A.R. with distinction from the Iliff School of Theology and his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion from the joint doctoral program at Iliff/University of Denver. His 50+ years of teaching included faculty positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder and St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM. He earned the RL Stearns Award for Outstanding Faculty Achievement at CU-Boulder (the university's highest honor), Master Scholar from the University of Denver, and Alumni of the Year at Iliff. Ever since he returned from Vietnam in 1969, he has been counseling combat veterans, helping them to conquer PTS, and transition to productive citizens and family members.
