About the Author
As the ninth ‘Joseph Mickle Fox’, I have always felt a need to live up to my ancestry. I am not one to say much about my own story but now, at age 102, I feel somewhat relieved of this responsibility.
I had a fine career, at Kellogg and Bechtel, as a chemical plant and refinery design engineer and fossil fuels expert but I felt the need to move on when I retired in 1992. I had found Fox family connections in Britain and followed these up with DNA testing. I continue to administer the Fox Y-DNA Surname Project at FamilytreeDNA.
I have written three family history books, backed up with genetic testing, and was an Oakland Museum Art Docent for twenty years. I feel best when pursuing relationships with family and friends. I like to keep occupied and this book is a result.
Whether all this provides a guide to longevity, I’ll leave up to the reader. I’ll admit to being an exercise addict, avid gardener and eating well.
