RETIREMENT MEMOIRS

I reflect with pleasure and gratitude over three score and twenty years before the memories fade. Nostalgic random autobio stories from a life and occasional commentary on current events and people in my life. © Ron Unruh

About Me

My photo
Ron
Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
Ambition to be a graphic artist was displaced 57 years ago by a plan to study theology and to engage in altruistic service. Art became my pastime as visual images conceded to word pictures.

My faith and principles remain firm as I paint and write.
