Paper-Bytes

This website was designed, constructed and envisioned by my late beloved husband Rhuen Phreed.  I will be pulling together his writings and thoughts over time and compiling them onto this website.

Writing was Rhuen's driving force throughout his life from his 20’s to the day he died.  He had to write.

His life was filled with tragedy and love, violence and peace, profound losses that were devasting, to profound insights that were unimaginable.  His writings reflect and are an exposure to all he had seen and lived, an emotional and insightful story.
