About me

Gender Male
Location Salem, Ohio, United States
Introduction After all these years, I found my niche in life, as a librarian. I'm blessed with a wonderful family, including a great sister and brother, and two terrific nieces and an amazing nephew. Admitting that I love to read is the understatement of my life. Good conversation with a valued friend or friends is something I will always treasure. A long walk on a lovely day is something I will never tire of. Thank goodness for laughter, smiles, home-cooked meals, train whistles, blooming flowers, Autumn, people who think of others, kind and uplifting words, books, the sounds of nature, artwork, and the feeling deep in your heart when you know what you did or said was the right and proper thing.
