I called it \u201cMy\nFormative Years: One to Eighty-One,\u201c which was my age when I\nwrote it. It is 74 pages of memoirs beginning at the age of one. My life\nhas not been exciting, but to some with an interest in ancient history,\nthe book elicited a few smiles. I base that conclusion on the response\nI got from those who read it.\nI did not publish to sell books. As a lawyer with the federal\ngovernment, I had made my living by writing, but not for amusement.\n<br><br>\nThe law is not amusing.\nWhen I retired, however, I jotted some essays for fun. Confined to\nmy home for the pandemic, I wrote with greater diligence and emailed\nstories to friends. I solicited comments on the quality of my work and\nhow I could improve it. I knew their responses were honest because\nmany were negative. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e190d6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6e190d6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a701ff2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-creative-button\" data-id=\"a701ff2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-creative-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<div class=\"ekit-btn-wraper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"ekit_creative_button ekit_position_aware\" id=\"\" data-text=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ekit_creative_button_text\">Read The Story<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='ekit_position_aware_bg'><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-967f9f9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"967f9f9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9c4bb4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a9c4bb4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81135b6 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-absolute animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"81135b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;,&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateY_direction&quot;:&quot;negative&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">My Books<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91669d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91669d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">My Books<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9707a8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a9707a8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3172a6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f3172a6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f33598 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f33598\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">My Formative Years<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9bdc02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b9bdc02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">One to Eighty-One<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a43434 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a43434\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When I retired from my career as a federal attorney I no longer required my top secret clearance, but I did need something to do. My first morning in retirement I was checking \"Volunteers Wanted\" ads when the sidewalk before my house erupted with kids. It was 9 a.m. and they were going to the school across the street. I had always been at work when it opened, but I was seeing them now and was amazed at how joyous and free they were. On impulse I asked the principal if she could use a volunteer, and she appointed me assistant kindergarten teacher.\n<br><br>\nThe kids loved me and I loved them. Observing small children brought back memories of my own childhood, resulting in the first of these essays. That began with my life as a toddler, but a lot had happened since then and I decided to keep writing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c987fab e-con-full

class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">At eighty-two, Stephen Gary invites readers to journey through a life rich with lessons, laughter, and the unexpected twists of time. In Still Forming: My 82 Years of Steps and Mis-Steps, Gary continues where his first memoir (My Formative Years: One to Eighty-One) left off, chronicling not just the milestones, but the small, honest, and often humorous moments that shape a lifetime.\n<br><br>\nFrom frog ponds and fishing trips to courtroom challenges and Caribbean adventures, Gary's reflections capture both the wisdom and whimsy of aging with grace. His candid voice seasoned with wit, humility, and hard-earned insight reminds us that personal growth doesn't end with age; it deepens.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
