A memoir in which I was able to assist my good friend Bruce Weir. In the middle of 2017 Bruce received a dire health report but faced the news with great coverage and threw himself into painting with amazing passion and energy. At the same time I suggested that we do a series of oral history interviews in which to record details of a productive life. These were conducted over several weeks during June and July.  Bruce spoke about his main interests in cosmology, geology, native flora and fauna, his love of the Flinders Ranges, his main career in the law and creative talents as a guitarist (rock, classical, flamenco), photographer, wood worker and finally painter. Fortunately the book was published and Bruce was able to enjoy it for several weeks before his death in March, 2018.
