| Introduction | By Grace, I'm a follower of Christ. By day, I'm a recently retired school administrator; by night (and always), I'm a husband and father (and now a grandfather); and by week's end, I sometimes find myself writing or reading in this space. Feel free to join in the dialogue. |

| Favorite music | A broad variety, from classical to the classic vocals of the crooners and Swing Era (and recent artists reviving that style). The soundtrack of my life would include Nat King Cole), The Carpenters, The Lettermen, Simon and Garfunkel, and selected Beatles hits, all interwoven in a fabric of time-tested hymns and meaningful choruses whose stanzas I will never forget. |
| Favorite books | This will show itself as you read here... too many to list. |
