I was a computer programmer / analyst for 53 years until I retired in 2021 at the age of 73. Now, writing, both fiction and nonfiction, is my main activity. I had an item published in our local newspaper a number of years ago on the Opinion page as a guest columnist. I'm currently working with a publisher on my first novel, an autobiography of the 14 short years my late wife, high school sweetheart and soulmate, Linda and I had together before she passed away at the age of 30. I hope to get it published sometime in early 2025.
