Who am I, and, what has my life been all about? These are questions I have seldom pondered these last seventy six years. Except for a vague impression that my life has been busy, fulfilling and most of all lucky, it has never occurred to me to attempt to document my experiences.
That is until I signed up for a “Story of Your Life” writing class at the Bonita Springs Art Center in
Naples FL. That experience triggered a mission to leave a legacy in print.
My objectives are to make the story interesting without excessive embellishment, plus make
it reasonably accurate chronologically and historically. More important than those objectives, I want to convey feelings my experiences have evoked within me. I also want to document important lessons
I have learned along the way. If I’m successful, this story will accomplish more than just
satisfy a reader’s curiosity about my life. A family member may better understand their own genes and legacies.
