Essays from the Past

These essays were written more than twenty-five years ago for different newspapers. They contain thoughts on various subjects prevalent at the time, and were printed as opinion articles.

Most were printed in a local newspaper, the News of Delaware County where he had an opinion column, and then reprinted in other papers. As mentioned in the preface, his concerns about the steady erosion of the values and principles he once knew, have continued unabated to this day.
