Receiving a BA in History from Murray State University located at Murray, Kentucky in 1970 and a MA in History from Seton Hall University located at South Orange, New Jersey in 1980 the author has set out on a personal eight year journey of growth and development. His compositions continue to reflect upon personal experiences as well as those of noteworthy importance in the world at large. Moments of pain and joy reflect the continuing trend that life at its best does not deserve a vote of complacency; whereas life at its worst does not deserve an early exit due to the inability to cope with the mounting pressures reflected in a social, work, or family environment. Coping mechanisms are always available; especially if pen and paper are nearby and an idea takes shape inside the author’s intellectual capacity. Writing is a great form of therapy for those so inclined to deal with sometimes overwhelming challenges of every day life. For the reading public constantly looking for answers; I submit forth my fifth volume for their careful, attentive evaluation and acceptance.ver menos
