Tales of Ramasun (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477415078)

M H Burton was born in 1945. Served in the US Army Security Agency from 1967 to 1971. After training at the US State Department's Foreign Service Institute as a Laotian translator/interpreter he was assigned to the 7th Radio Research Field Station based on Ramasun Station near the small rural village of Non Sung in northeastern Thailand. He was based there for two and one half years though he was on temporary duty in nearby Laos for some of that time. Returning to the United States he completed an unfinished Batchelors Degree and a Masters in Public Administration. After that he spent the next thirty plus years as a Computer Systems Analyst and Programmer for several employers, as a freelance contractor, and as the head of his own software development company. Retiring from the world of computers in 2001 he turned to writing, travel and gardening. He lives on a lake in Minnesota with his Thai wife of 40 years. They spend their winters on her farm in Thailand some 50 miles from where the now-disappeared Ramasun Station of his 'Tales' once stood.
