Why is this guy's life so important that he has to write a book about it?" you may be asking yourself. Well, you see, I have three grandchildren that don't know the "history (his-story)" behind this grandfather's growing up and growing old years, and I decided to write it down for them so they could read it when (and if) they wanted to read it, and while they were at it, so could their dads and mothers too, if they so wished. It would maybe answer some questions as to why I am the way I am. It was suggested others might be interested in reading about one person's walk through life, or as it has seemed to me, run through life, so I should make it available to all. So, I think my grandchildren and their parents might find the book interesting, and maybe you will, too. Thank you.
