Letters To My Daughters

When I was a child in the late 1950's, and thought about how long I'd probably live, and realized that I'd live the second half or so of my life in the next millenium, and pondered what I'd do with that half of my life, it came to me that it would be a time of passing on whatever wisdom I may then have gained to younger people.

When I first became a father, and reflected on how to pass on whatever wisdom I possess to my three beautiful daughters, and perhaps also to others of their generation or the following ones, I had the idea of writing a collection of "Letters To My Daughters".

Although I didn't begin to do that in writing when they were young, I hope that I've passed on some measure of wisdom to them through our life together. And now, with their prompting to write to them in this medium, perhaps these will be my letters to my daughters, and perhaps to their lovely children as well.
