Holliday, Daniel Wayne: - Daniel Wayne Holliday, Seth's father and coauthor of this book, is a retired jack-of-all-trades who lives in Decatur, Alabama. Wayne grew up in Lawrence County, Alabama, in a log cabin (no kiddin'). He left Alabama for the Air Force, which took him to Alaska, where he stared at green radar screens waiting for the Ruskies. Since no Ruskies showed up, Wayne then went to the University of West Virginia and became a history professor before eventually returning to Alabama to become a quality control inspector for the Unemployment Compensation Bureau of the State of Alabama. As a child, Seth was always frightened of the question, What does your dad do? He still doesn't quite know. The Daniels like to go fishing on warm, sunny days and discuss the latest political inanity. The fish don't seem to mind.
