Ramblings : A Piece of My Mind EPUB

I like the idea of a sentimental-historical approach to articles about Grinnell and other topics.

Maybe there is no past or no future, only the present.

I have a good memory, which is my main research tool.

Share ideas and establish contact with old friends and others.

Somehow, I believe the blogs on aging are of some value to others.

Feedback confirms that. It gives me something worthwhile to do. Too much leisure can be the booby prize of retirement, as can be too much activity.

This is a collection of essays which I have written and arranged in a reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent and moving back in time with the others.

The main topic of the articles is Grinnell, Iowa, my hometown, but there are also other subjects discussed.

They are a historic, nostalgic treatment of many facets of life there in the 1940s and 1950s including Grinnell College and Grinnell High School sporting events, customs in the neighborhoods back then, and the inevitable topic of aging and life as a septuagenarian.

The articles on aging are written with my GHS class of 1957 classmates in mind.
