Autorenporträt

Joseph Taylor grew up in a suburb of Baltimore and spent a good portion of his life in the same community. Joseph attended local schools and met his wife in that same community. Other than life experiences, he has no subsequent formal education. Joseph and his wife married at the age of 21, and they both anticipated a lifelong love affair. Most of his professional career was spent at one company (nearly 45 years). As of this writing they have two children... both are happily married; and Joseph and his wife remain very close with them. They also boast two grandchildren. When he was in his 40s Joseph started to branch out into various volunteer opportunities. Before long he was on the 'board of directors' of several organizations. As he reaches 70 years, he remains very active in several organizations and is most proud to have been honored with formal community recognition on two occasions. During an approximate 15-year time frame, Joseph suffered an unimaginable depression. (It's the basis of this book.) He has no idea how he was able to hide this from his friends, family, relatives and other acquaintances. More than once he thought about ending his life. No one knows that. Soon, Joseph and his wife will be married 50-years. His wife is a very private person and he doesn't want his family and friends to know the full weight of everything that he dealt with. He is better now and thinks she is too. He just wants to leave it alone for now. This is why he has written the book using a pseudo name. Writing this book... and re-living the worst time of his life has enabled him to somewhat get over it... and move forward. One day soon, he may actually acknowledge that he is a 'senior'.
