Here is where I get a chance to tell you a little about myself and the book. For the past 30 years, I
have practiced medicine as a Comprehensive (General) Ophthalmologist. I have treated babies, children, young adults, mature
adults and elderly individuals. These wonderful patients have allowed me to become part of their lives. I have been privileged
to know things about them that many others do not. Indeed, it is these encounters which have brought about many of these philosophical
kernels of truth which I have dubbed: Harry’s Homilies. They have come to me as I conversed with patients themselves
or as I drove to and from the hospital.

In 1994, our local medical journal (St. Louis Metropolitan Medicine) gave me the opportunity to publish
them each month. I am grateful to the journal's staff and my medical colleagues for encouraging me to collect these into a
book. Although some of the thoughts are directly applicable to medical care, I hope they will stir all of the readers to think
anew about the various subjects I have addressed. Perhaps one of these pages will change one person, help solve one problem,
or bring on a smile. If that happens, the project definitely will have been worth it!.
