- Let's Take the "Fun" Out of "Funeral" (1,100 words).
- My wartime experiences lacked one crucial element--war: End of an Era (1,100 words).
From my former Aledo (Ill.) Times-Record weekly column:
- The veneer of civilization wears thin during midwestern summers: Me Like Corn (600 words).
- Travel writing at its wettest: Adventures in Dairyland (675 words).
And a couple more from my weekly column at the Rock Island Argus and Moline Dispatch:
