SynopsisDan Galt is well qualified to write about peach fuzz, having spent most of the years of his youth picking peaches and working in the orchards of various family members. Dan majored in Agronomy and earned a BS in International Agricultural Development. He and his wife, Trish, spent two years with the Peace Corps in Brazil. Returning home, Dan went on to earn an MPA from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs of Princeton University and a PhD from Cornell University, where he studied International Economics and Plant Breeding. He spent most of the next two decades working overseas in agricultural development projects designed to get more food to hungry people and this is his story. Laced with humor and hyperbole this memoir is sure to entertain you while you learn more than you thought you could ever know about the process of pickin peaches. Today, mostly retired, Dan and Trish live in Modesto California, where they enjoy the excellent fellowship provided by the Modesto Church of the Brethren, a traditional peace church, and frequent visits with their three terrific children, and wonderful granddaughters.
