    About this ebook

    Wrights Lane...Come On In is a compilation of short stories, memoirs, thought pieces and musings by veteran writer Dick Wright. In this publication Dick graphically shares some of his personal experiences and exposes himself as an extremely astute, sensitive observer of life. You will be entertained by his "Dream Date", enthralled by the inspirational influence of a "Feather", touched by "One Couples Journey With Cancer" and enjoy the humour in wife Rosanne's use of unusual word twists. The pages are sprinkled with short opinion offerings that are sure to both inspire and stimulate. Written in an easy-to-read format and style that is reflective of the author's down-to-earth personality.

    Dick Wright

    Dick Wright is a former newspaper editor and public relations practitioner who is most comfortable in the homespun genre. In retirement, he writes for sheer personal pleasure and the enjoyment of family and friends. His extensive body of work effectively mixes nostalgia, humour, opinion and inspiration. He contributes regularly to his Wrights Lane web site and has produced a companion publication to Dresden Life, simply titled "Wrights Lane...Come On In". He lives in Southampton, ON. with wife Rosanne. Is there another book left in him? His response: "Now that I'm on a roll, you never know."

      After graduate school I hung around another year and drove a cab for Iowa City Yellow Cab. The cab was a boat, a Chevrolet Caprice wagon. I could have put a mattress in the back and lived in it. I didn’t hate the job. I’d sit in the Kroger parking lo
