This collection of stories is intended as a memorial to my family and friends of a long life well-lived. It was begun as a useful way to spend my elder years at Byron Park, the Senior Living Facility where I began living in 2019. I wanted it to reflect my family and my career but also to contain a wide variety of good writing on subjects that interested me. They range from a cousin “approaching blindness” to the “veil of ignorance” of Jack Rawls, combined with a couple of very unusual family excursions. And I tell my own story. All in all, I believe this book will provide a good road map for many to healthy living and good personal relationships.
