Art Duff
Born in the San Fransisco area, educated in Salt Lake City
(B.S., M.D.), where I was one of the few bartenders in the
state, married a Utah girl in the process of being tossed out
of the Mormon Church, spent a short career in the Army as an
anti-Viet Nam flight surgeon, then pediatrician (talk about
walking a tightrope), retired from same at age 48 to live on
our small Italian farm where I have been writing and making
passable wine for fourteen years. One son, an artist in Venice,
one daughter studying fashion stylist endeavors in Milano.
My main interests that pop to mind are: writing, reading, handball,
racketball, skiing, wine-making and an unfortunate addiction
to the running of the bulls in Pamplona for over thirty years,
during which time I've been "nailed" thrice, the
last in 2000 when I was gored and survived the subsequent operation.

Ben Williams
Ben Williams spends his time skiing and writing in Telluride,
CO, when not starving to death in the valley and making other
people oodles of money. He was born in Washington DC, but taken
at an early age to England, where he grew up by being expelled
from some of the best schools in the world. At length, he attended
university in Maryland, at College Park, reunited with his
estranged father, and studied soil science becoming an environmental
scientist in 2000. When working for the NRCS, he became ill, and
beguiled by mysterious symptoms, he began working for a conglomerate
of newspapers after the government had
fired him, leaving him without health insurance, in feverish
delirium. He has had many occupations since then, and most notably
made it out of Las Vegas somehow alive to arrive in Telluride
sober
(once) and now lives skiing, writing, and plumbing the depths
of human tragedy through his use of fiction while staying
alive running an advertising business and teaching people
how to
ski. He feels very lucky to live in so beautiful a part of the
world (even if poorly) and one day hopes to live salubriously
by
the writing of several masterpieces!
