Details

Welcome! It all started with a book: Old People - Confessions of a Clueless Caregiver. It was written one rainy day in 2001 when my frustrations and observations finally flowed into my computer. Years later, when The Folks had passed, I brought the chronicle to a close. To date it remains unpublished. There's hardly any point. Just sending the manuscript to my sister, who sent it to my cousin who sent it to a friend, etc. has filled my email box with responses! So, dear caregivers past, present and future, this blog's for you! About Me Mary Fagan Born in Lafayette, Indiana. Attended Adrian College and Central Michigan University; started out in advertising. Now retired and living with my husband in Friendswood TX after working over a decade in the space program. To see my published works, visit www.maryfaganbooks.com and www.ammanontheseries.com
