About Sam Person
Sam Person says of himself; "I am a “snowbird,” and live seven months in Bonita Springs, Florida, which I
consider my permanent residence, and five months in Bayside, New York, a
suburb of New York City. I am a New Yorker by birth and inclination.
By training, I am a Certified Public Accountant. I have been fortunate
enough in that my professional career utilized that training and yet
provided diversity. I have been a practicing CPA, a municipal government
official, a University professor and dean, and spent 30 years in the
business of helping candidates prepare for the CPA examinations.
I am 68 years old and retired. I enjoy walking, reading history and
biography, and a good cigar with brandy. My interests also include serious
rooting for the New York Yankees and the University of Connecticut
basketball team.
I have been involved in many volunteer efforts over the years, including
fourteen years service on the board of a hospital, including a term as
chairman. I still actively pursue associations with volunteer organizations.
Writing has always interested me, and the dreams of my youth would have led
me to a career as a sports writer, which for various reasons (but with no
regrets) did not happen. Thus, I am devoting retirement time to writing for
my own pleasure, and hopefully for publication, although financial reward is
not a goal. In this connection, I am a regular contributor of letters to the
editorial pages of the Naples (Florida) Daily News, and provide one such
missive every two weeks, limited to 250 words. In addition, I write a
monthly “guest commentary” on local issues for the Bonita (Bonita Springs,
Florida) Banner. These commentaries run from 500 to 1500 words. Over the
past several months I have been writing essays on various topics which
interest me, which is was what led me to find 'The Inditer.'"
