Stories

Anyone who knows me has listened to my stories. These are my recollections of events in my life, professional and personal. Recently (2012), on Facebook, a number of my friends from Lansingburgh, NY collected their stories in a book. I contributed three of my stories to this book. My family seemed to enjoy the stories and storytelling gives me a chance to reflect on the past. This book motivated me to write other stories that I've been telling for years, into words.

Here are the three stories I contributed to the book:

• A Boy and His Dogs
• First Steps Outside My Comfort Zone
• Home of the Silo Sandwich

And here are some more stories

• Sink or Swim
• How I lost the Nobel Prize
• LHS Valedictory Address
• Gift of the Magi
• Good Morning Eleanor
• I Love Him and He Loves Me
• How the Draft Affected My Life
• Working for Your Friend
• Meeting Ivan Sutherland

And some more to do sometime

• A Man and His Dog
• Working with Your Friends
• Collaborating with Your Friends
• The Wall
• Open Bill
• World Domination
• Is it in the hole?
• And They're Off!
• I Will Retire in Two Years

April 1 Postings on Facebook

Each year I post an April Fools' Day message on Facebook. Each posting has a plausible opening followed by ridiculous statements.
