Words of Life

T. J. Calger was born in the fifties. He had three paper routes and a couple of jobs before leaving school and joining the service. A year and a half after leaving school, he passed his GED. He spent a lot of time memorizing words and writing poetry. He took a temporary job that lasted two and a half years, then got a job with a major clothing manufacturer.

He started writing poetry for friends and strangers and some of them made it into a box. The box became a bag and it took two days to transcribe them and put them into a book. What he writes could be important to others. He still writes, and is retired in Minnesota. He is still going strong trying to rhyme and giving poetry away.
