From Last to First

What is the measure of a man? What is a life well lived? I have often thought about those questions and with John Aceti’s help, I had the opportunity to explore them through John’s amazing life. Spry and vibrant at 93, I met john after he had published his 7th book at 92. As I got to know him and his life’s story, I wanted him to share his amazing and inspiring journey beginning in Niagara Falls in the 1930s to his current life in the Hill Country of Texas. Overcoming a humiliating incident at age 8, John was the first in his family to go to college, served in the Air Force, became a teacher, the principal and retired from his first career. In his second career, he and his wife traveled internationally and ended up in Kerrville Texas where John began yet another career as an author. Join me on this most fascinated journey From Last to First with John Aceti.
