Loren Good(1916-1993)
- Writer
Loren "Bud" Good was born in Ashland, Oregon and raised in Red Bluff, California
and Klamath Falls, OR. His father, Loren David Good, was a railroad
man, the last hostler of steam trains for the Southern Pacific. Bud
punched cows in his youth, worked for the railroad, and served in the
Army Air Corps in WWII. He then began a career in newspapers and PR
while also doing freelance writing for, among others, the ViewMaster
company.
In 1955 he published a children's book, "Panchito", the story of a one-eyed parrot who ran a ranch in Mexico. His short story "And the Desert Shall Blossom" was published in "Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine" and later picked up by Alfred Hitchcock.
A well-read autodidact, his vocabulary was so large that he always worked the "New York Times" crossword puzzle in pen.
