WIlliams has a full service optometric practice at 293 Main street in Owego, NY. This practice was established in 1940 by Dr. Henry E. Quick and has been a fixture in Owego ever since. Dr. Quick was joined in practice first by Sr. Solomon and then by Dr. Gary Williams. As the years past, first Dr. Quick and then Dr. Solomon retired. Now Dr. Williams carries on the tradition. The practice provides all primary eye and vision needs including routine eye examinations with refraction for eyeglasses and fittings for contact lenses. Additionally, the practice provides examinations for the treatment and management of eye diseases, both on a routine and emergency basis. The practice's most unique feature is the specialty care it provides in the areas of vision therapy and the management of learning-related vision disorders for patients of all ages. Dr. Williams is pleased by all the patients who have chosen his practice to provide their care over the years and also welcomes the opportunity to meet and serve new patients.

I have been interested in history since I was a teenager. In the beginning, it was curiosity, particularly about war, which is probably the stimulus for most boys who become interested in history. As an old man, that changed to a revulsion and fear of war. History and biography, like all the humanities including religion, provide examples of experience, perspective, character, goals, and decision-making which provide insights for introspection and guidance.

This book was chosen as the Best Book of 2022 by The Economist and The New Yorker. I found the book to be extremely disturbing. The statistics are astounding and I am shocked at how many of them I was unaware of. The book’s focus is on boys and men but affects our entire society and many others.

Barbara Ehrenreich was an investigative reporter best known for her book, Nickel and Dimed. Her method of investigation for that book was to travel around the country getting whatever “non-skilled” job she was offered. She lived the life of the working poor to understand their challenges by walking in their shoes. It is a powerful and enlightening book.

The peripheral visual processes control the targeting and binocular alignment within a fraction of a degree of angle. Without this, and without precise timing of the signals from the eyes, the input the brain must interpret is scrambled.
