After working on my family history for many years, the realization that I knew very little about the early lives of my parents, and absolutely nothing of my grandparents youth, prompted me to record a few of what I believed were interesting episodes and from my life. I have attempted to recall events with a reasonable degree of accuracy but am sure I have remembered things differently than others might. Other than not Òletting the facts stand in the way of a good storyÓ I have attempted to be as accurate as I could.
This short book is my attempt to leave a few recollections that tell a little about who I was.
