Biography of Author R.S. Hunter

Richard Steven Hunter (R.S. Hunter) was born in 1956 and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in by a family with a strong British foundation. His father, Ronald Stewart Hunter, was from Kent, England. After R.S. Hunter took his honorable release from the Royal Canadian Air Force he settled down in southern Ontario where he continued his education at The Loyalist College of Applied Arts and Technology.

Eventually, seeking a warmer climate, Richard moved to Victoria, British Columbia to join the Seafarers' International Union, where he would work side-by-side with his brother David aboard various ships run by B.C. Steamships. Eventually B.C. Steamships was sold to Stena Lines out of Sweden.

While vacationing in San Diego, Richard met his bride-to-be, Kerry Ann Campbell. In less than three months they were married on the shores of La Jolla cove. Richard moved to San Diego and became an American citizen, while still maintaining his strong Canadian ties. Hunter will always have a Canadian flag displayed nearby. Kerry was now known as Kerry Ann Hunter and Richard became step dad to Nicholas and Justin.

Over the years, Richard and Kerry travelled the world many times and through these adventures, both of them evolved into who they are today: peaceful, God-fearing citizens of the world. Eventually they settled down in Tucson, Arizona. R.S. Hunter's agnostic upbringing had always left an emptiness deep within his soul. Kerry's spiritual foundation filled that void in abundance. God had become the center-piece to Richard's household; an influence that has reached deep into the hearts of Nicholas and Justin and their own families as well.

Hunter's sister Susan still lives in Montreal and brothers David and Kevan live in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. R.S. Hunter's mom, Isabelle, lives with David and is enjoying the closeness of family during her twilight years. R.S. Hunter's dad passed away in 1991.

John A. Campbell III (Red) is Kerry's dad, and he immediately took a liking to Richard from the first time they met. After all, Red and Richard loved all things British, including silly British sitcoms and donning their kilts, when the occasion arose.

Red is now in his eighties. Sadly, his amazing story had not been yet been told. God told Richard to tell Red's story; put the horror and injustice of Red's time as a POW on Java to ink and paper. Since Richard retired at the age of 51, the timing was perfect. Richard wanted to let it be known exactly who John A. Campbell was. All of the Campbell generations to follow will have a historical documentation of this thrilling tale. Where Eagles Fly is that story. It is Red Campbell. It is also a part of Richard's soul.
