David P. Remy was born in Iowa a few months before the Pearl Harbor "incident" as those affairs are referred to in today's parlance. He attempted to become educated in Dubuque, IA, Detroit, MI, Washington, D. C., South Orange, NJ, and New Orleans, LA. It took a long time, in many halls of higher learning. Finally, a little stuck. He felt most success with his in depth study of Mardi Gras and restaurants in the Crescent City...the Big Easy. Up to this time of writing, he's been a pastor, an educator, a drug and alcohol counselor and tucked in the middle of almost forty-five years of ministry, he served twenty short ones in the U. S. Navy as a chaplain to our courageous Sailors and a "padre" to our valiant Marines. He proudly adds, "Veteran" to his bio. Late in his life game, he appends "Author" to his resume. He will allow the reader to determine the validity of that claim. IN LOVING PURSUIT is the author's "labor of love". He spent five years writing this fictional account of a very real time in his life...a time which has given essential meaning to all the years which have followed. He is now retired and has his residence in the Florida Panhandle where thousands live and millions wish they could. He continues to minister in parishes, military chapels and on board cruise ships.
