I lost the very best of me when my wife passed away. I am taking that experience, as well as my struggle with ms (which is secondary and minor compared to losing Melinda), and writing a memoir.

I am going to a Beachy family reunion this weekend in Kalona, Iowa. Lots of horse and buggies in the parking lot.

Just like the focus of my life right now, I am going to focus this site and my blog on providing updates and status reports as I go through the publication process for my Memoir. A memoir is non-fiction and is "from memory." It differs from a Biography in the fact that it focuses on a certain event or events in one's life. A Biography will include a person's entire life.

My cousin, Brian, lost his life in a home accident on July 15th. Prayers go out to his family. Brian lived in Wellman, Iowa, after having grown up in Las Vegas.
