MISCELLANEOUS:

L. Neil Smith is probably the most widely-published and prolific

State University between 1964 and 1969, majoring in philosophy and
psychology, with a principal interest in antropology and human
evolution.  In 1969 he started a small retail firearms business which
he operated until 1975 and at about the same time served as a reserve
police officer for the city of Fort Collins, Colorado. In addition to
writing, he is a competition metallic-silhouette (NRA Hunter's Pistol)
and NRA Falling Plate shooter, has run for political office (Colorado
House of Representatives), and is a full-time husband and father.
