His thesis is on file and available at the University library, but I don't recall the title. I think it dealt with some aspect of horse physiology.

He also wrote Galactic Matador, though it may appear by a different title in different markets, and was published around 1978. He was especially pleased to have gotten cover art by Kelly Freas. Dr. Bone also wrote under a psuedonym, but I never knew what it was.


The other title of Galactic Matador was Conferation Matador. My grandfather Jesse F. Bone was an OSU professor of veterinary medicine and wrote five novels and more than 40 short stories for science fiction lovers before his retirement. Jesse died a couple of years back in Arizona.
