Reg Green is known to people around the world, not by his own name, but as "the father of Nicholas," a seven-year-old boy who was shot in Italy on a family vacation. The killing became a worldwide news story when he and his wife, Maggie, donated Nicholas' organs to seven Italians. He began his career in journalism with The Guardian, in Manchester, England, then moved to the London Times and London Daily Telegraph. He emigrated to the United States in 1970, became head of public information for the Investment Company Institute in 1973 and started his own mutual fund news and public relations service in 1984. Although his specialty is economics, he has written for almost every page of the daily paper: sports, music, book reviews, travel, editorials, obituaries, etc. He has traveled extensively, has bachelor's degrees in economics and history, and has had six children. He and Maggie live in Bodega Bay, California, with the three youngest Greens.
