About the Author
Milton Lipson was born on July 5, 1920, in Detroit, Michigan,
and died on April 28, 2007, just short of his 87th birthday. He
received the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1944 and had a
long and varied career in veterinary medicine that included large
animal practice, meat inspection, and volunteer work on several of
Arizona's Indian reservations. He was the owner of the Harvey
Animal Hospital in Detroit where he had a small and exotic animal
practice for over 35 years. After moving to Tucson in 1980, he took
courses at the University of Arizona and entered the College of
Agriculture where he was awarded an MS degree in wildlife and
fisheries science in 1985. Known as "Doc" to many of
his friends, he loved nature, the outdoors, hiking, bird-watching,
boating, fishing, and camping. He leaves behind his wife, Dr.
Marilyn Heins, four children, and five grandchildren, including
11-year-old twins who loved this book.
