herschel kahn

As a member of the octogenarian community, Mr. Kahn reflects on the lessons he has learned during his lifetime. He ties these lessons to specific situations and the individuals who serve the role of teachers. His writing style is warm and friendly, akin to having a fireside chat. The reader will gain insight into how, when and where the lessons were learned, from his early childhood continuing through life well into his retirement years. He draws upon a wealth of lifetime experiences. These include his military service, thirty-three years in corporate America, sixty years of marriage, travel to over eighty countries, life-changing events he was part of, working abroad, friendship gained across the world, and being a husband, father, and grandfather, as well as community service. The conversation style takes the reader into his sphere of experience. Real-life situations serve as lessons Mr. Kahn shares with the intent and hope they will stimulate similar thoughts one will think about as they continue their journey through life.
