I have traveled the world widely, and my writings reflect my experiences while on the road. I took up flying at the age of fifty-six and have written in detail about that experience. Photography is one of my interests, and except for two pictures, all photos submitted in this book are my own. I live in Vernon, British Columbia, and until fairly recently, I was an avid skier, hiker, and tennis player. I play golf, but my talent falls short of my interest. I have three grown-up daughters and a small circle of close friends. I live life to the full.
