After the initial euphoria, one of the potholes along the road as we transition from work to retirement may be the need to discover a new purpose to fill the sudden void. Helpful ideas may be buried in a closet, an attic, or wherever else you store your personal artifacts.
A Father's Letters: Connecting Past to Present shows how re-evaluating a father's writings to his family eventually illuminated his son's life trajectory. The letters chronicle two distinct periods: his days as a combat infantryman in World War Il Europe and-30 years later-as an accountant tethered to a desk job at a small Midwestern canning company in his hometown. Whether in France or rural Illinois, Glenn Browne Jr. always shared his experiences with candor, wit, and wisdom.
A Father's Letters serves as a reminder of the unique qualities of personal correspondence, and how it can offer new insights into our own lives-past, present, and future.
