• I write at eighty-five for the same reasons that impelled me to write at forty-five; I was born with a passionate desire to communicate, to organize experience, to tell tales that dramatize the adventures which readers might have had.

The job of a storyteller is to tell stories, and I have concentrated on that obligation.

It was fun to see them playing or sunning themselves among the kelp. It more fun than the thought of beads to wear around my neck.
