TURNINGS AND THOUGHTS

A MEMOIR IN VIOLATION. AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS

FROM BIRTH TO NEAR THE END A CHAT ABOUT THE NUMBERLESS TOPICS THAT IMPINGE ON EVERY ONE OF US. MOST OFTEN THESE SIMPLY HIT US ON THE HEAD AND GO THEIR WAY, WHEN OCCASIONALLY THE OPEN UP THE HEAD AND LET THE SOUL SPEAK.

BORN NYC TO ARMENIAN IMMIGRANT PARENTS, LIVED IN PARIS AS YOUNGSTER, SEEMED HEADED FOR ENGINEERING DESTINY, DETOURED INTO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, THEN MEDICINE. HIS TRAIL REFLECTS A RESTLESS CURIOSITY. IN SOME THIS MIGHT CREATE A DILETTANTE, BUT IN MYRON THE DESIRE TO LEARN THE ANSWER TO "HOW AND WHY" LED TO DEEPER PROBINGS AND UNDERSTANDING. HE CURRENTLY LIVES IN MENLO PARK, CA., MARRIED FOR 63 YEARS, FOUR CHILDREN AND NINE GRANDCHILDREN. SKIED UNTIL RECENTLY AND NOT THE ONLY CONSIDERABLE ACCOMPLISHMENT, AN UNSUPPORTED BICYCLE TRIP NEW YORK TO CALIFORNIA AT AGE 71.
