About Recollections...
Over the past few years, I have been asked many questions about my past and how life developed for me. It occurred to me that my children and grandchildren knew very little about who I really am and where I came from. I wished that I had been given more of the details of my father’s life and so I decided that I would write some articles in order that a better record of my life could be had for those who will come along after me.
These little essays, which I have called, “Recollections” were not written because I thought people were just dying to know more about me. They were written for internal use so some kind of historical record could be kept. But, somehow the public has found them and seem to enjoy being taken “back to the day.” The articles included in “Recollections” are actual events and things which somehow impressed me to the point I have never forgotten them. I hope they help transport you to days in your remembrance which will always be a part of you.
