Journal Entries
Personal journals of Philip G. Roets
Phil's personal journals were a way to chronicle the events of our lives and careers, initiate or follow our many conversations on so many topics, and to "think on paper" new approaches or expressions of ideas. This lifestyle suited us. We were educators of young students and adults. The journals chronicle discussions of the Bible, history, philosophy, teaching content and methods, current events, family affairs. Personal recollections and reflections were the mainstay of our 33.5 years of married life. Volume 1 began in Madison, Wisconsin, on our 10th wedding anniversary, June 7, 1979. Phil's last entry is 9/24/02, Volume 92, Des Moines, Iowa.
