    About this ebook

    This is a book of poetry that spans the years. Some of these
    poems were written forty years ago, and some were written
    now for this book. They are meant to be fun to read but
    some of them have been written with tongue in cheek. They
    all have some segments that was from a real time or place but
    I may be the only one that can find the connection.
    A good example of this will be found in the works that I
    have titled THE FACES OF THE LADY. This is about a
    large wilderness lake that is along the Minnesota- Ontario
    border. I have fished and camped on this lake many times
    and any canoeist that paddles the
    lake will soon find that this Lady
    has many moods that can change in
    an instant.
    I had a lot of fun writing this book,
    and I hope you find enjoyment in
    reading it.
