    About this ebook

    Connections Summary

    The events, emotions, and thoughts that I have delineated in this book represent 86 years of my life on a voyager called Earth--it is my attempt to establish the fact that there is no such thing as an insignificant trip. I have tried to include in this history both the noteworthy and the benign aspects of this journey and to highlight the people along the way who have influenced me and giving me direction; and as I step back and contemplate the part that I continue to play, I am pleasantly surprised to recognize the effect that I have had on others.

    And that, above all else, has given my life meaning.

    Hal McFarland

    Hal McFarland is a Burlington, Kentucky native, a graduate of Georgetown and Xavier Universities. He has also attended Butler University and, in Germany, the Goethe Institute. Connections is his seventh attempt at what he calls electronic immortality: some of his other works include A Dream Within a Dream, Fear the Moonlight, Farewell to Rosegate, Braving the Shadows, and The Life and Times of Dexter. Hal, with his wife, Barbara, (who is also an author and playwright) lives on a Western Boone County, Kentucky, farm, in a nineteenth-century barn which, over the course of a decade, has converted into their home.
