Having thrived during 59 years of marriage to Patricia, the love of my life, and raising 3 sons and 7 grandchildren, I was widowed in March, 2012 after sharing her 10 yr. journey through dementia. I retired after 25 yrs. as a pastoral psychotherapist, 10 years as a college administrator, and 16 years as a Protestant pastor and campus minister. I have therefore certified myself as a full-fledged Geezer. This enables me to offer whimsical wisecracks and witty wisdom on Geezerhood and other related and unrelated topics.
