Letters for George

This is a personal blog about lots of topics, e.g., dogs, family, retirement, childhood, life in the U.P., humor. The George in the title is my dear brother-in-law George Levenson, husband, father, grandfather, brother, filmmaker, who left us prematurely on his 63rd birthday in 2007. His having been my favorite e-mail correspondent, I intend these stories as a tribute to George and his ever-present impact on his loved ones.

About Me

My photo
David L.
Cincinnati, OH
This is a personal blog that I began shortly after I retired in 2009 from my social psychology faculty position at a large Midwestern university. The blog contains stories and reflections (usually by me but not always) about a variety of things past and present, e.g., growing up in Menominee in Michigan’s U.P. with my siblings, Steven, Peter, & Vicki, and our parents Vic & Doris; family life with my wife Katja, son J, daughter-in-law K, grandkids A & L; our doggies; Cincinnati and our Clifton neighborhood; everyday events; and various life interests. I try to inject some humor into most of this. I hope you find it enjoyable.
