A word from John …

I loved reading from an early age. Comic books. Advertisements. Signs. Numbers on buses and destinations. My teenage years were filled with Agatha Christie novels. My twenties found me soaking up true-life stories: marine and air disasters.

My favorite, and to me the most heart-rending of human stories, was that of Chang and Eng, the original Siamese Twins.  The emotional cascades stirred up by the loss and pain we experience in life is often difficult to deal with.
