This book will appeal to all seniors, those who have seniors in their family, and all who expect to become seniors some day. Written with humour, not that aging is funny, and with insight, because we all need understanding of the aging process.
From the Introduction:
I had just seated myself in the optometrist's waiting room when the receptionist asked, "Tell me, is Aunt Harri a real person?" That question typifies many I have received from friends and total strangers since Aunt Harri's appearance as a regular in my monthly column for seniors. Although she has appeared in a number of publications aimed chiefly at seniors, she has carved out a place in the hearts of readers of all ages.
Aunt Harri's popularity prompted me to introduce Bert as a monthly visitor in my weekly column. This opinionated, eccentric bachelor now has a following of his own mostly among those who wish they had Bert's ability to thrust himself into situations where only angels would dare to tread. I have also included some columns dealing with family relationships. This whole book deals with relationships relationships between generations, between men, and within families.
Getting back to the question: "Is Aunt Harri a real person?" You decide. How could anyone that feisty, independent, and with such a complex history be anything but real?

Author Bio: Ray Wiseman's early memory being pushed up a rope ladder and over the side of a tramp steamer at age two set the tone for his life. He has spent much time travelling, and most of his life looking from the hilltop of one adventure to the beginning of the next. Born in England, Ray has lived in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and South Africa. He has travelled in Africa and Asia.
Ray counts writing as his fourth career. He began his working life as an electronics technician, then returned to school to study for the Christian ministry. He spent time in the pastorate and overseas with a missionary society. He returned to electronics, working as a video systems engineer and technical writer. In 1993, he took early retirement to pursue a career as a writer and speaker.
He studied at Radio College of Canada, The University of Waterloo (B.A.) and Briercrest Bible College (B.G.B.S).
