Start

It is December, 2005. Next February 14, I will be 74 years old. My mind is still quick, but my typing is dead slow, as it always has been. Therefore, I don't know how much of my memories I will be able to record, especially since I have many other activities and do not spend much time at home. I would like to have more time at home and will try to arrange that, but I pray that the arrangement will be by choice and not by necessity.

At any rate, I will try to work on this project for the sake of Billy and Caroline, who have asked me many times to tell my story. I will start by saying as much as I know about my parents and relatives. Caroline is particularly interested in the family. I wish I had been too, when there was still someone to ask.
