Juneus Frederick Kendall, M.D. was born in West Virginia in 1930 and has recently become a widower. Jan was a special person and he was blessed to have her in his life. Though these stories are strictly fiction, he knew most of the people depicted. Ted, as he was known most of his life, though not religious, performed over 50 weddings at the request of fellow Ultra Marathon Runners or from people who considered him to be "My Doctor." He still runs a few miles several times a week and is currently working on another Novel.
