About this title

Synopsis

The stories that I offer you, are a compilation of many subjects, thoughts and emotions. They are, when viewed in their entirety, a veritable snapshot of my life on this planet. There are stories that have happy endings and, alas, many with sad conclusions. There are many animal, nature and sports stories and, best of all, stories about aquatic life (fish). As I have encountered life's mysteries throughout my life's journey of 86 years, I have recorded the psychological, emotional and physical impact on the human and animal world.

About the Author

The author, Andrew Opritza MD FACP, is an 87 year old retired medical doctor. He practiced Internal Medicine in the state of Ohio for over 30 years, Although he did write medical and animal stories over the past few years, it wasn't until he lost his only daughter the he wrote, while in deep despair, his first story "In Memory of a Duck" and silently dedicated it to his own lost little duck. Over the following months, then years, he managed to write and publish two books. The first book "Lofdoc's Stories Short and Sweet -Medical and Personal Views" (July 2013) and the second "Lofdocs Stories Short and Sweet- Fish Tales and Stories of the Unusual August 2013. The two books contain many medical, animal, and mystery stories. Lofdoc (lots of fishing doc) is his chosen pseudonym. The present book, Lofdoc's Stories Short and Sweet "An Octogenarian's Oracles" completes the trilogy. This, his final offering, has many stories that are a reflection of an active and inquisitive mind. There are stories that are nostalgic and haunting in nature, and there are many stories that are just plain fun to read. Most folks will easily relate to their wisdom and humor. When Lofdoc was asked if this third book was truly his final contribution to the world of literature, he responded by saying I would dearly love to continue exploring new vista in the future, but at the age of 87, the laws of nature will certainly have the final say.
