“I will never be young again…. I am looking back, not forward. I will leave as many of my memories in journals and books. as I can. Someone might read them. Someone might learn from them. Someone might even enjoy them.That is my consolation.” My Geriatric Journal is an intimate, autobiographical gathering of published essays by an octogenarian who couldn't decide if he was a writer, teacher, artist, poet, photographer or editor. Or all those things and more. It is a delightful example of a complex life well lived.
