An elderly widower who has mourned the loss of his wife for 2 years decides to seek a companion who meets his qualifications. His experiences at each venue that he visits during his QUEST vary from humorous to differences in opinions regarding social standards. Some of his experiences provoke flashbacks of his younger days compared to what exists today. His adventures at a singles bar, the zoo, a museum, a high school class reunion, Mardi Gras, a ball game, a Caribbean cruise and a tour of New Orleans provide educational and entertaining reading for young and old adults. He is confronted with a variety of female personalities and is challenged in deciding the suitability of each for a permanent companion. He, himself, ponders the results of his mission.
