Brain Attack: Surviving a Stroke

My heartfelt guide to surviving and thriving after stroke.

Dear Folks: A Soldier’s Letters Home 1941–1961

Before computers and the internet, letter writing was a labor of love. Letters could make you laugh or cry, holding untold mysteries within quaint, many-times-over postmarked envelopes.

Dear Folks is the author’s personal collection of his father’s letters written to his parents over his twenty-year military career.
