新加坡多多开奖记录

The former journalist, editor and publisher of 新加坡多多开奖记录 is celebrating his life in a new book, 鈥淓rik鈥檚 Story: Life in a Changing World," and will read from it Thursday, Dec. 19, at Auburn Public Theater.

The memoir shares Osborne鈥檚 life, from childhood and education to his career and retirement. It鈥檚 the latest work in a diverse bibliography that also includes a collection of his father鈥檚 letters from World War I, fiction novels like "Taking Fortune's Tide," novellas and a children鈥檚 book called 鈥淭he Adventures of Tilly.鈥� All are available on Amazon.

His first published work of fiction, "Tilly" features drawings by Hetty Rodes Easter Tehan, of Skaneateles, and is about a child trying to locate her doll after losing it in the closing doors of a subway car in New York City. The idea, Osborne said, came from his bag feeling the hug and tug of those same doors while on a trip.聽

That was one of many stories Osborne shared while hosting 新加坡多多开奖记录 on Nov. 27 in his home on Grover Street. He and his wife, Sheila, live there with their Labrador retriever, Beau.

The visit also came with an annotated tour of the first floor of the 1828 brick home. Family paintings hanging in many of the rooms prompted anecdotes from Osborne. Like "Erik's Story," the interview was about the author but he couldn't help telling stories about others, seasoned with subtle humor.聽

The conversation moved from his library room to his office, where a nameplate sits upon the desk. Instead of bearing Osborne鈥檚 name it reads, 鈥淚鈥檓 silently correcting your grammar.鈥�

Informing and reforming

Also like his memoir, 新加坡多多开奖记录's conversation with Osborne naturally became a family history lesson. He often spoke about his father, Lithgow Osborne, who served under President Franklin D. Roosevelt as ambassador to Norway. While abroad Lithgow met his future wife, Countess Lillie Raben-Levetzau, who turned out to be a very distant cousin.

Their family would play an integral part in local media. They published The Auburn Citizen-Advertiser and founded Auburn Cablevision, while one of Osborne's uncles ran the WMBO radio stations.

鈥淚 soon found out after you鈥檝e been in the newspaper business and the radio business, you鈥檒l be in the TV business, too,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 hated selling the newspaper."

His grandfather, Thomas Mott Osborne, served as mayor of Auburn and warden of Sing Sing prison amid a life in pursuit of social reform. After his death in 1933 the Osborne Association was formed, a criminal justice reform organization that operates to this day. Frederik served on the board of the New York City-based nonprofit for 50 years.聽

Thomas鈥� mother was Eliza Wright Osborne,聽daughter of renowned women's rights activist Martha Coffin Wright and creator of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union in Auburn. In 1907 Thomas and Eliza established the Osborne Memorial Association, which initially supported the working class in Cayuga County but since 2014 has been a fund managed through the CNY Community Foundation.

A life of love

Looking to the future, Osborne plans to write another book.

鈥淲hen you鈥檙e 98, you have a little more time on your hands,鈥� he said with a grin.

He's currently working on a compilation of letters from his first wife, May, with whom he shares seven children, eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Many of the letters were written during a six-week trip May took with their children across the country, seeing sights and visiting relatives.

Their love story began during their time at Harvard. He met the Boston native while sitting next to her at a dinner. In 鈥淓rik鈥檚 Story," he calls her 鈥渢he most amusing girl鈥� he鈥檇 ever met.

After 48 years of marriage, she died of cancer in 1999. Osborne, also quoting from his book, said her passing left a 鈥渉uge gap鈥� in his life.

He would meet and marry his second wife, Sheila, in 2002.

Along with writing, Osborne tries to stay mentally and physically active. He uses his rowing machine at 5 p.m. six days a week. Crew is one of several sports he's participated in throughout his life, getting involved at Harvard. He loves it so much that he once held a 2,000-meter indoor rowing world record for 70-year-olds.聽

When asked for his secrets to such longevity, Osborne said he enjoys taking time to relax and reflect. He also reads through his emails and plays games.

"I really enjoy playing that New York Times puzzle, Wordle," he said.
