I was born in 1945 – a few months before WW II ended. My dad worked at the ship yards in Sturgeon Bay, WI – because his eyes were too weak for the military.

Most of my memories of my early childhood are what relatives have told me over the years. I fell out of a 2nd story window when I was two years old and it really did a number on the memory progress. It also left me with a tendency toward convulsions for a number of years.

So it is really important to journal my memories.
