Here are several biographies or stories of my life from little one-page accounts to a series of 4 photo books. So how much do you want to know? It seems that many life stories don’t hold a lot of interest until after a person is dead, so if that is the case, I’m prepared for death! 🙂 The featured photo above is the one Library of Congress Story Corps did of me in 2012 just before I turned 72. Hear the interview at the link below.

- The Saga of Charlie Doggett is another one of my plans, this to tell one continuous story, more seamless that the above hodge-podge of stories, but I may never find time to finish it. Very much under construction with only an introduction and first historical or roots chapter done so far and on my spiritual page I link to this same first chapter, calling it the “Arc of my Soul” which title comes from an article I read in a Friends Journal. Right now I’m too busy to write about my life! 🙂

Click one of the above covers or the Menu Item Biography Books for links to a free preview of each book. And note a very thin or light bio-type book on my life here in Costa Rica, Retired in Costa Rica. Maybe someday I will do a Volume 5 on my Costa Rica finish of life and maybe not. 🙂 Since that little mini-biography I’ve done another titled Life Tranquility. 28 pages on the role of nature in my life that includes me in a canoe during WWII. 🙂 As with all of my books, there’s a free preview of every page.
