When my dad was in his
80's, he began to write about travel and experiences he'd had as a young man. He said that
as he wrote, he'd pace, because he was re-living that part of his life all over again. He saw places and felt how
they were. He experienced feelings of love, happiness, fear, he experienced smells and tastes all over again, and
he felt sunlight, storms, cold and damp. He was astonished that he could so fully re-experience what he had lived
so many years before. His book is written in a warm and personal manner. It evokes a time of simpler living and
firm values. He'd toyed with the idea of having his book published but was not in good health and it didn't happen
during his lifetime. It became my pleasure to do that for him in the years after his death.
