C. Wise, Jr.Charles C. Wise, Jr., was born in Washington, D.C., (despite his surname) on April First. After serving in the Federal Government for 40 years as a lawyer and administrator (his career has been summarized in Who's Who in America for the last half-century), he retired to his roots in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where his ancestors were original settlers.
His career followed that cited of the traditional Chinese Mandarin: in office a Confucian, in retirement a Taoist. Going strictly by the book while in public service, he became a mystic in his retirement. He has published eight books on spiritual and psychological matters. Having been in retirement for a quarter century, and without current official responsibilities, he feels free to state his views fully and honestly without undue concern for "political correctness."
