Professor and physician Richard Leighton captures the hearts of readers through a series of letters that encapsulate his journey in the past. His book, “Dear Folks: A Memoir from 500 Letters,” takes the reader back to the 1940s to 1980s in the form of over five hundred letters kept by his loved ones and discovered by his nephew.

“Dear Folks: A Memoir from 500 Letters” stores precious lessons that the author has failed to remember. “I realized that in addition to bringing to memory so many past events, my reading of the letters reminded me of lessons I had learned connected with these occurrences: lessons that became invaluable to me as I evolved from a schoolboy into a physician and educator,” Leighton writes.
