INTRODUCTION
I love to tell stories about lessons that I have learned over the past 60 years. A couple of years ago I began to write them down and circulate them to friends for feedback. I decided to put them in a book of short stories that will hopefully help people navigate the inherent chaos that is life.
Some of the stories are original and some are taken from other stories that I have been told. The central theme
through all of the stories are:
Be inspired on a daily basis; Do your best; Do the right thing; Think outside of the box; Be proud of your country; Family is important; Helping others is a privilege
Many of the stories center around family and friends. I have been blessed with a loving family that spans several
generations. I have many friends that go back over 60 years. I have been a lucky guy and I wanted to share some stories that have been part of that luck.
