Old soldiers love to tell stories.  I am no exception.

I knew that I wanted to write when I retired and I thought the best way to start would be to type my stories.

Jim, Don, and I asked our mother and father to write theirs.  Dad wrote a few and Mom wrote only one.  Dad died too young to finish and Mom's memory went long before she could.  I wish we had stayed on them or made them start sooner.  What they did write, we consider treasures of family history.

 I wish I had taken notes, made videos, and taken more interest.  I wish I had asked my little brother Don to write his.  I didn't and that leaves me to do .  .  .  something.  I have asked Kady to type out Mom's story, Dad's stories, and Dad's WWII letters home from England.  I have asked Jim to write his.  This is a work in progress.  You and Read Them Here as I publish them.

For my part of family history, here are my stories, those I have told over the years and a few I may have never told, roughly in cronological order.
