About the Author
I was born in 1936, the height of the great depression. I have now entered the social security years, or more bluntly stated the last chapter of my life ... in other words I have grown old. So here I am, the end is no longer light years away and i feel the need to leave behind something other than a tombstone that once a Steven Granson lived. To be completely frank, call it presumptuous if you like, I think after a lifetime of living there are some things of value I've learned that merit passing on. Ramblings Of An Old Man, is a tongue in cheek autobiographical account, humorously relating my life from the past to the present. Today I am retired and living with my wife Susan In South Florida.
