(November of 2018) I was asked to speak at a few Bethesda Assisted Living homes in St. Louis, Missouri and talk about how I realized rather late in life that I had a talent for writing! I also read a few lines from my memoir, had door prizes, and sold a few books as well. I love being involved in this kind of event and hope to be asked again by them and other facilities.

(September 2020) It's obviously been almost 2 years since I've given any talks. In 2019 other things were going on in my life and keeping me busy. And in 2020...well, we all know what has been going on in 2020. I look forward to next year and hope for a "normal" way of life again.
