Reflections from a Long Life and Creations

Beschreibung

I am now in the nighttime of my life. It has been a good life - no perfect, of course - but complete with challenges, accomplishments, disappointments, laughter and sadness. No two lives are the same, and my reflections will be from my unique experiences. They are not profound. You won't find my name in history books or on buildings. I consider myself an average persons. Unless I record my memories, they will soon be forgotten, so I am choosing to record them. Hopefully, you or someone will find them of interest. I will share my experiences, but, also, I will share what small amount of wisdom I have gathered during my lifetime. I have reached my 95th birthday as I share the following pages. I have always had a fascination with live theatre, and, since I discover3d a creative gene in my old age, I have chosen to include a group of short skits I have written. Hopefully, they will produce a smile or two, and, if you have desire to perform some of them, you have my permission to do so. Some have already been performed, and I include a list of those occasions. Before you start reading - you do plan to read, don't you - let me share with you what I believe to be the three things necessary for a happy life.

Autor

Charles "Bud" Vear (Grandpa Doc to his Grandchildren) was born in 1926 and lived through the Great Depression and World War II. He grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, a small Suburb of Chicago, spent two years in the Navy during the War before returning to earn an undergraduate degree from DePauw University. His dream of becoming a doctor took a while to blossom. He first earned a Master's Degree in Social Work from Indiana University and worked for the Chicago Boys Club in the inner city of Chicago for three years, trying to direct troublesome teenage gangs into more productive pursuits. After a 15 month stint in the hospital with tuberculosis, he taught middle school science and math for seven years before finally pursuing his doctor dream after he and his wife had eight children. After finishing medical school, he became a small town Family Physician in Hillsdale, Michigan for the next 24 years, delivering over 2000 babies in a town of 8000. He and his wife, Gloria, ended up with twelve children, 43 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren (and counting) and are co-authors of a book, "Love, Laughter and Dreams", the sometimes frolicking story of raising twelve children and pursuing dreams. His wife of 68 years passed away in 2019.
