His wife of fifty years, four adult children and six grandchildren are his inspiration. All have encouraged him for over thirty years to write down his life experiences from childhood to the present, before senility sets in.
His resume spans some twenty-plus varied careers, with limited and varied successes. Few things have satisfied as compiling his first book, the words just seems to flow and the more he writes the more he rememberslife is good.
The Main Title of his first book, ALMOST, A time to be remembered and the theme of any and all to follow tell it all. On so many occasions he came sooo close to ringing the bell, reaching that utopia of attaining that one big score which would afford the reward of spending the remainder of his familys lives languishing in the lap of luxury.
For one reason or another, something, or someone, would always thwart that final step and snatch complete victory from his grasp, (or maybe . . . secretly, he just didnt want the challenge to end). When one leg of the journey ended, for whatever reason, he would gird up his loins and tackle the next venture with great anticipation. Every undertaking was well thought out, properly financed and preplanned in advance with no possibility of failure, (no matter what his wife says) then full speed ahead, over the ramparts, dont stop (maybe that was dont fire ) until you see the whites of their eyes . . . well you know what I mean.
He is the type of guy that always buys a lottery ticket but, secretly hopes, he doesnt win becausethen the expedition would end, the challenge would cease to exist.view less
