Author Information

Paget A. Newbury is a retired funeral director having served seventeen years in the funeral profession. After those seventeen years as a funeral director I did a mid life change and bought a one hundred and forty year old hardware business in the same town that I worked as a funeral director and proceeded to expand on that business until I retired in 1995, and moved to a little town in upstate New York nestled in the foot hills of the Adirondack mountains on the Great Sacandaga Lake. So now I sit with my wife Faye on our dock as I have for the past fourteen years and enjoy gently sipping a martini and watch the sun set slowly in the west and remember those days over fifty years ago, WHAT A LIFE!
