My favorite thing to do is camping in our national parks with a recreational vehicle. After spending the years between 1989 and 2007 traveling, camping and taking pictures of American wildlife, I settled down in South Florida. Here, I began writing. I produced a 90-minute DVD called "Our American Wonderlands." This work is set to classical music as well as poetic narratives. Some of my other work includes "The Dating Race In Cyberspace," It is about my experiences at the age of 81, with computer dating, as well as four children's books. They are true stories and are called, " Oakie, The Little Oak Tree That Didn't Die, Daisy Duck Teaches School, The Turtle That Fell From The Sky and Do You… Know Us." I am at this time finishing a full-length novel about our first lady president. In addition, There are 2 books of poetry. These are "The Ramblings And Scramblings of Mely," and "Our American Wonderlands."(The poems.) Melvin I Taks
