PROLOGUE

 Two years before my dear wife died I asked her what I should do with all the stories, family history, letters, diaries, genealogy, etc., I had collected over the many years.  True to her tradition she had a simple answer, “Silly boy, write a book.”  As I often was wont to do, I paid little heed to her suggestion.

When she suddenly died I was so distraught the next several months I was not fully functional.  Sixty-five years of wonderful marriage and those delightful childhood years together were not easily given up.  A year later and I began to gather my wits and try to resume a somewhat normal life.  

For the first time I read the diary she kept all through our childhood years until I went into the navy.  I then began to think about her suggestion.  Why not?  So I undertook this task to share our ancestry, life stories and many experiences that shaped our destinies as members of the Greatest Generation. 

There is more truth than fiction in these accounts of our lives.  It’s my best recollection of events as they occurred and as some were told to me.  I purposefully made some changes to keep an element of anonymity.  Names of people and places are somewhat changed.  My dearly departed father once said, “A story ain‘t worth telling if it ain’t worth  embellishing.”  I’ve tried to keep embellishment to a minimum though some has covertly crept in.

 THIS IS OUR STORY.
