John Stewart has led a life of interest. He has always been interested in almost everything. Unfortunately for him, he could not settle on any one interest long enough to master it, or to make a lot of money. Fortunately for us, he spent a lifetime learning, absorbing knowledge wherever and whenever he could, and making more mistakes than the average person - or three. But through a lifetime of living, learning, and mistakes, he now has a lot of stories to tell. And perhaps a bit of wisdom to pass on. As his wife, I had the joy of helping him in this endeavor - as a sounding board, one of his editors, and cajoling him to continue on even when the task of passing on his thoughts seemed insurmountable. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be able to say, "It's done! Enjoy!" To all those who have listened to his stories, and even starred in some, thank you. Your time and attention mean more than you will ever know to this humble, honest, creative, generous intellectual. Hannah P. Stewart
