Chris Gibbons is a freelance writer from the Philadelphia area whose stories and essays have been primarily published in the Op-Ed pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer. However, his stories have also been published in the Philadelphia Daily News, Washington Times, Houston Chronicle, Arizona Desert Sun, Savannah Morning News, Orlando Sentinel, the History Channel Magazine, America in WW 2 magazine, and Philly Man magazine. Because of his life-long interest in military history and NASA, Chris’s stories often focus on veterans and space exploration, but he also often writes about his experiences while growing up in a large family in Philadelphia during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Chris currently serves as Alumni President on the Board of Trustees for Philadelphia’s Roman Catholic High School, the nation’s first free Catholic high school founded in 1890, and he is currently leading the effort to find the names of the Roman alumni who gave their lives in World War I. His book, Soldiers, Space and Stories of Life, which is a compilation of 78 of his published stories, is available online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
