Description
Mike Morley has had an interesting and varied life but it was marred by tragedy when his mother and brother were killed by a German bomber during WWII. His vocation was teaching and his first marriage was to a well-known TV personality with whom he had three children. He is also a prolific writer who found success in many spheres, an enthusiasm that he continued to pursue when retirement released him from the constraints of the classroom. Now in so-called retirement, Mike continues to lead an active life with many friends in a wide radius of Eastbourne, on the South Coast of England, where he now resides.
