Biografía del autor:

With degrees from Princeton University and the University of California at Berkley, New Jersey native Harry R. Roegner has lived in France, Belgium and Germany plus traveled extensively in Asia, Africa and Latin America in his vocation as an international businessman and in his avocation as an avid butterfly enthusiast. Roegner's ancestors were some of the first Dutch settlers to move into Lenape territory across the Hudson River from Manhattan in the 1680's. He has amassed one of the major butterfly private collections in the country which now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. In 1999, Mr. Roegner started to collect notes made during this 40-plus years of collecting which led to publishing of his first set of butterfly adventures memoirs-Butterfly Trails. Adventures with Butterflies is his second set of memoirs with at least one more set in the planning stage. In addition to being a leading authority on the international automotive business and the butterfly, Mr. Roegner, who speaks five languages, was an advisor from 1984 to 1992 to the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative on international trade policy. In 2004, Mr. Roegner began a series of books focusing on significant events in history as lived and witnessed by ordinary people at the time. Gerrit was focused on Dutch settlement of what is now New York City and western Long Island in the mid-1600's. A Time to Remember, the third book in the series, was suggested by Mr. Roegner's wife, Anneliese, who was ten years old in the ruins of Berlin in 1945.
