Portrait of a Life: Memoirs, Essays, Tributes, and Articles

By Benedicto Balbuena Manzano

This is an abridge story of my life from my origin, grade school, high school, college, work, and family. It also contains essays and reflections of events in the family, articles as a writer/editor in Philippine newsletters and magazines, tributes to departed friends, and an article in the front page of the Wall Street Journal, featuring Oak River Sub, a new and affluent neighborhood in Troy, MI, which examined the diversity and integration of the various ethnic groups that lived in this choice place to raise a family. I was one of three residents mentioned in the article and interviewed by the Wall Street Journal Bureau Chief Gabriella Stern.
