the wanderlust of her parents and loves travel,

David Bristol was raised by a librarian, and the
olfactory experience of entering a library still
brings him comfort. A Vietnam veteran, he
returned to Cambodia in the late 80s and early
90s as a veterinarian with the American Friends
Service Committee to work on a cattle and
water buffalo project. The love of nature–from
lizards to the night sky–is in his DNA. e-mail:
