Why blog about “retirement speeches?” One of the joys of being a writer is that I have the opportunity to craft speeches for special events. Those occasions might feel happy or sad or both at the same time. They can be tricky, but they’re usually FUN! The times in which farewells are less fun to write and to present are when the person who is leaving has been highly controversial or has been extremely unpopular. In those cases, some finesse is needed to make the presentation adhere to these standards. I’ll share some tips here. Continue Reading →

Rindgo – married to a pastor, was a deeply religious man who also was a gunrunner in the nation’s capital. The children loved him. What? I love storytelling – especially when the story is TRUE!
