It’s just a memory now.And, perhaps I won’t recall it precisely because of the decades that have passed but I will tell it as best I can.I was what people used to call a “late in life child” so my siblings were much older.

When Gunnar Nelson opened the door of his beautiful home, even before I had reached the top step of the porch, and greeted me cheerfully with a big hug, I felt I was being embraced by family. I was there to interview Gunnar and his twin, Matthew, about them and their famous family.

A new year has begun and this makes me very happy. Good riddance to 2025.The Good Book instructs, “pride goeth before destruction.” My pride almost killed me this year.All my life, I have enjoyed good health. Yet, I never appreciated it like it is meant to be appreciated.
