About Gregory a. Bell Books
Gregory is the third of six siblings born to Marcus and Doris Bell. His father served twenty two years in the US Air Force before retiring in 1972. His main reason for leaving the Air Force was to ensure that all of his children could receive a quality education in one location; a location that both he and Doris could personally supervise. Their active involvement in their children's education is why five out of their six children graduated from college and all five have advanced degrees. Gregory attended the California State University at Hayward in Hayward California, graduating in 1979 with a B.A in Mass Communication. Following his father's military footsteps, Bell participated in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corp at U.C. Berkeley. Commissioned in the U.S. Air Force as a Second Lieutenant, he began his career as a Public Affairs Officer at Beale Air Force Base in Marysville California. He would later be stationed in San Antonio, Texas; RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom and lastly in Dallas Texas. He would also go on to earn a Master's in Public Administration from Troy State University, Alabama, in 1989. Bell left the Air Force to attend the University of Washington School Of Law, graduating in June 1995 and becoming a member of the Washington State Bar Association in February 1996.
