Finished at Last
I have finally reached the point in my journey where I am comfortable with whatI began almost two years ago. I have written all I can remember. Well, I havewritten all that I care to reveal of my life to you. I did as I promised at the beginning, I told my stories in simple language and I did not try to pump them upin any way. I told the stories as I remembered them.I am sure there are some errors you found while reading this book. I have tried tolocate them and correct everything I could. There were several times during this journey through my past I had conflicts with my Word Processor. A computer doesnot have the human element it needed to understand what I was trying to convey toyou, the readers. There were also some times when Kathy and I disagreed on thewording and presentation of some items. We worked out those minor differencesof opinion and resolved the issues.This journey through my past has been at times a nightmare. I have spenthundreds or maybe thousands of hours working on this project. It has at times beensuch a joy to write. I spent a lot of time remembering my childhood and trying tofind just the right words to describe some things that happened over fifty years ago.I may not have everything correct but it is the way I remember those events in mylife.I have been blessed in many ways during my journey through my childhoodexperiences. One such blessing was a reunion with myself. I had forgotten some of the things I did as a child. As my writing continued from one story to the next, I began to remember more of how it was in the sixties. I felt the emotions and theexcitement of being that boy growing up in that small Texas town. The fun we had just wasting our time riding bicycles or playing football in the snow. I also recalled playing tackle football on “the square” of Trenton on some of those long summer nights.During the past two years while working on this book, I was also working on building a web site. I posted all of my stories there. I was surprised so many peoplefrom my past have found my writings. Many have taken their time to leave meencouraging comments. I have also talked to some friends and mentors from my past. I will always remember the day I returned home to find a message from O. J.Savage, Jr. We had not talked in over forty years. We spent some time on thetelephone talking about those days of old and he remembered then just how youngI was when he and his family moved to Trenton.
