Biography:
I’ve been a newspaperman and editor. A PR consultant. A college teacher. A house builder. An Elderhostel director. My “Senior Moments” column has been a prizewinner. I began traveling big time after retiring: by VW, bus, plane, train all over the U.S. and abroad. Then my big trip for my 75th birthday, resulting in my Around the World at 75. Alone, Dammit! by Infinity. It was published in China in Chinese! I flew there for the PR kick-off, then kept going – the beauty of retirement! The result is Around Asia in 80 Days. Oops, 83!
