A SHORT OVERVIEW OF DAVE RACER
Alice and David Racer (Sr.), parents, raised me in St. Paul, Minnesota. I graduated from St. Paul Johnson High School, attended Macalaster College, the University of Minnesota, and the U of Southern Mississippi while serving in the U.S. Air Force. I earned my Master of Letters Degree from Oxford Graduated School. Rosanne and I are working on our 58th year of marriage, and have five children, and eight grandchildren. In January of 2025, I completed my 60th book – 22 of these deal with health care. My passion is teaching and writing – and in the photo above, I am participating in a meeting during Summer Senate 2022. Learn about all my teaching under About Dave – look for Dave the Teacher.
