Nice, but how does knowing what to do in the operating room qualify him as an expert about life’s twists and turns as his main character grows from just being born to college dorm? The answer to that is the life which he has lived. Richard and his wonderful first and only wife of many decades saw the innumerable ups and downs of bringing up kids with strong moral compasses as they raised their own girl and boy.
