Rapids Gazette. "More or Less Loess" is his first book.

Dennis was born in Waterloo, Iowa and graduated from

Chicago area with his son, Nathan, and Nathan's mom,

Dennis would like to thank his family. Their continuing
support has made this project possible.

Nathan Jacobs is a sixth-grade student. He loves
animals and hopes to become a wildlife conservationist.
His other hobbies include computer games, Pokemon,

will buy his dad's book so he can go to college someday.

Nathan would like to thank his dog, Patches, for being a
good puppy most of the time.
