81 and Still Learning

“Imagine being able to sit down and talk with a grandparent and get not just the nostalgia and reminiscence but a deeper exchange, a vulnerable one that touches on the range of experiences from hopes and fears, successes and failures, regrets and victories. Unfortunately, by the time most of us are ready to know our grandparents, they are gone. Kathryn Cameron has boldly seized the initiative and lovingly crafted more than a memoir for her own grandchildren. In 81 and Still Learning, we find that there is wisdom for all of us. The insights and lessons learned have universal appeal and relevance. Kathryn may not be your grandmother, but no matter what stage of life you are in, you will benefit from a slice of wisdom gained from a life well-lived. This book delivers just that.”

– J.J. Hebert, USA Today bestselling author

Kathryn Cameron believes every life is a story that one can learn from. She explores her learnings from others as applied to her life. Much of her learning about leadership took place after she retired, and it is her intent at eighty-one years of age to share the learnings that may be of value to others at an earlier time in their life, including her grandchildren. Her musings on subject areas such as pro-choice and pro-life, the LGBTQ community, and faith are thought-provoking. Her memories of her life growing up are sure to entertain and to communicate to the grandchildren who this person is and was.

Kathryn Cameron spent over thirty years as a teacher and educational professional. She accepted a challenge from her son to share her wisdom in 81 and Still Learning. Her motivation for the project came from a deep desire for her grandchildren, especially, to know her, her values, and her story in this unique way. Kathryn enjoys duplicate bridge with her friends and online. She lives in Virginia with her husband, Jim, and their rescue cat, Simon.
