My Experiences of A Great ManSamuel Joseph Blair was known as Sammy to some, Samuel to others, Uncle Sammy to yet others, and Dr. Blair or even Brother Blair to many, many others. But to author Wipey and her sisters, he was Uncle. In My Experiences of a Great Man, Wipey pays tribute to this man who played an important role in her life. In this memoir, she discusses her uncle's life---His birth in 1928, his early years, his education, his family, his failing health, his eventual death, and the great impact he had on others.Writing as a way of coping and healing after Uncle's death, Wipey narrates the lessons she gleaned from him about living a life to the fullest, sharing love, and helping others in big and small ways. The reminiscences included in My Experiences of a Great Man help recapture the positive memories of a man who meant so much to so many.
