My wife, Ginnie, had a hip replacement which gave pause helping her. In this lull, about my seventy fourth birthday, I began to write. I found many wells to draw from: My childhood, in the South, with close family and friends was rich. I enjoyed camping, hunting, and fishing adventures with by brother, Wilbur, hound dogs and friends. A graduate engineer, I managed manufacturing in several factories staffed by smart, hard working people. Active duty; US Army Corps of Engineers, building airfields in Europe. Bright loving children and grandchildren. The joy a wonderful wife brings a lucky guy. The spontaneity of writing has become more demanding as I try to create exciting, good poems. I hope you enjoy this selection.
