Biography
I'm medically retired now, with a lot of time for reflection. I've written a book manuscript, created a few powerpoint presentations examining leadership, organizational ethos, & parenting. Now it's time to try poetry. The power, simplicity, & elegance of prose has always attacted and intimidated me. My favorite poem is "IF" by Rudyard Kipling. If I can get even close to his depth & simplicity it will be a job well done
