David Perry Beiter was born in Troy (thus a native Trojan), Rensselaer County,
New York (east of the Hudson River, and thus a genuine Yankee) on the
Twenty-ninth day of March, in The Year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred
and Forty-Four from the union of David Luke Beiter and Elizabeth Perry Beiter.
He had the good sense to move from Troy to Stillwater, New York when he was
three days old.
Education was instilled at Stillwater Central School, Mechanicville High
School, Union College at Schenectady, New York (Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry, 1965), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New York
(Chemistry), University of Kentucky at Lexington, Kentucky (Master of Science
in Geology, 1970), and Fergle University at Cincinnati, Ohio (Doctor of
Eschatology, 1987).
He is a self-taught surveyor. While at Union College, he was a part of a group
of several students who were doing informal research in the local caves. They
desired to make a map of these caverns, but the available methods used for land
surveying were not appropriate for cave surveying. A cheap rugged surveying
method was then devised, as well as the first computer program to handle the
data (written in FORTRAN and run on an IBM 1620 computer using IBM cards for
data storage). Further development of the surveying technique and the computer
program was done at the University of Kentucky and a cave over twenty miles in
length was surveyed.
This surveying method was brought out into the light of day while shopping for
rural property in Kentucky. Rural property is seldom surveyed in the backwoods
of Kentucky. Someone shows the prospective purchaser the boundaries as best
that can be remembered. The land description is recopied from the previous
deed, along with all the previous mistakes.
In 1971 the author purchased three springs and a remote farm at Kidder,
Kentucky, with the intention of studying the water chemistry for a PhD
dissertation. In 1972 he retired. In 1976, he purchased and moved to a
remoter farm at Ritner, Kentucky (population 25). Since 1972, he has assisted
approximately one hundred families to retire. If you are interested in early
retirement and/or purchase of inexpensive (US$150 to US$500 per acre) rural or
remote property contact him for the latest list of available properties. Cheap
rentals are $100 per month for an old farmhouse.
The author is a confirmed hermit and ochlophobe. He works and lives in a
slightly modernized Civil War vintage log shack on 1/2 Fast Farm. His driveway
is one mile long and has a locked gate. Trespassers will be violated.
Survivors will be prosecuted.
The author is happily divorced. His family consists of a jackass named
Gunsmoke, a tomcat named Forney Cat, a bitch named Yuppie, and two kids named
Billy and Capricia.
