“Any adversity to reading and writing as child was soon straightened out in my late teens as I embarked on an academic education. With a career in teaching ahead or me, the basics soon developed into a competent literary style leading to a Master of Arts degree in my late 40s. Today, my writing is a journey based on personal experience. Reflecting back on my life, I have lived through a period where the changes in culture, people and technology have been both fascinating and frightening. With nearly eighty years under my belt, I hope in some way my view of the world during this time will be enlightening and interesting to someone.”
