The ReLife Project Collection

Prologue

NOT THAT MANY YEARS AGO, I went to see Mel Gibson"s movie, “The Patriot”. If you don"t remember it, the story revolves around a Colonialist in early America who must decide if he supports the upcoming Revolutionary War with Britain. When one of his sons is killed by a Hessian mercenary, he joins the fight against Mother England and her allies.

I"m not sure what Hollywood thought of it, but I liked it. Then again, I"m easy to please when it comes to creative works of art. The more imaginary and out-of-the-box, the better.

Anyhow, back to the point. As I left the theatre, I had one of my "what if" moments. For whatever reason, a simple question popped into my brain. "What would happen if a Founding Father of the United States was brought back to life in modern times?"

From that one question, it was off to the races. What would a Founding Father think of today"s America? Would he be impressed, sad, or somewhere between? What would he think of our politics, dress, manners, morals, and behavior? The number of questions was endless.

I kept all these questions in the back of my mind until I got the chance to answer them in the ReLife books you are about to read. Of course, my predictions of the future are most likely way off base. If it were easy, I would have bought Apple stock before anyone knew people would use telephones for virtually everything.

So, without further chatter, grab a refreshment, sit in your favorite easy chair and enjoy this ride into the future.
