Tim Neale My Life of Adventure: An Oral History of Adventure, Misadventure, and Living Fully as Told by Timothy F. Neale

It’s not that I forget. I just don’t remember.

You’ve experienced a lot. There are stories to tell. Lots of them. Some you remember, but the details are getting farther away, diminishing. Some have slipped away totally. You want to share what you know. You want to thank those who’ve been integral pieces of your life. Yet, how to do that when it’s difficult to keep those memories in place?

The help of friends, a recorder, and desire can go a long way. This series of stories is tied with the thread of a single life, lived fully.

Tim Neale has been telling stories for years. True stories. His experiences. From early years on a sheep ranch to explorations in the mountains of Alaska and beyond; his stories provide a unique perspective on the history of some of the premiere mountain running and ski races in Alaska. From bears to boomboxes, New Zealand to Vietnam, freighters to bicycles – serious, funny, or quirky – they show the perseverance of one individual in leaving a lasting legacy regardless of his diagnosis of Parkinson’s with Lewy-body dementia. Life is to be lived – actively and fully.
