About the Author

Soon after a three-year enlistment in the US Marine Corps, then earning a master’s degree in economics at Utah State University, Lyle Summers began a thirty-year career working for state and federal water resources agencies. He traveled throughout Utah and Wyoming, helping farmers, ranchers, districts, and cities to understand the economic feasibility of irrigation and other water-related projects. He comes from a background in agriculture, having been born and raised on a dairy farm west of Rexburg, Idaho. He and his wife Carole have raised six children and are helping guide twenty-nine grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren. He is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Lyle has eighty-five years of life experience, and this is his first attempt to write for wide distribution.
