Ned Learns to Say No A Lesson About Drugs

Dr. Ron Madison, who has had an interesting and varied career in engineering, teaching, research, sales and marketing, began writing poetry in the early sixties when his children were young. The puzzled and excited expressions of his children in response to his extemporaneous clever verse provided Dr. Madison a welcome escape from his very serious and demanding world of work. "Ned's Head" was created in 1963 when his oldest son, Mike, was five years old. But it was the summer of 1993, when he experienced the delight that his five-year-old granddaughter felt for her father's favorite poem, that prompted Dr. Madison to publish "Ned's Head" and share the fun with children all over the country. The success of Ned's Head led to the publication of the "Ned series" of children's books.
