Excerpt from the address to the assemblage at my retirement celebration, delivered at Robert Mondavi Winery, Oakville California September 20 2006
"I have lived a good life, benefited from the virtue of many, been the recipient of good deeds, and kind words, at just the right moment. And I've known the infinite power...of destiny. And so I stand here today surrounded by family and friends, secure in the belief that I am indeed....a fortunate man."
Living a vicissitudinous, yet blessed existence, I write, inspired by circumstance!
Thanks so much for the visit, and please do...return again! |
