Travel Reflections
This non-fiction book is about traveling and reflections about those travels.
It takes you on a journey to many different places in the world, some strange, some exotic,
some dangerous, but always interesting places. I am an emeritus distinguished professor
of Statistics. I attended many conferences all over the civilized world to give talks. Often I
would take members of my family along with me. Sometimes I traveled with Grace, my wife;
other times with one or more of my children, Daryl, Jamie, or Julie.

It is about astronaut Dorothy, who makes the trip, her ex-husband, Hal, who bets big-time on the duration of the trip, and their adult son, Freddy.
