About the Book

Although born on a farm as a sharecropper's son, I became fascinated with radios and electronics before television existed. I dreamed of the possibilities of space travel because of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Because of moving, I attended many different schools including three in the first grade and three my senior year. I met and married my wonderful wife within about three months after being in the Navy during the Korean War. I was one of the early people working downrange in the Bahamas Islands when we first began launching satellites from Cape Canaveral. For two-years my family roughed it in a 3-room shack on Grand Bahama Island because the company did not support families. My wife had a major heart attack in 1989 that damaged her heart. The doctors said she would probably only live another 5-10 years. She lived almost 22 years after the heart attack, but it was a downhill trek. I became her caregiver, 24/7, as her health declined. This is a second book, containing additional stories about our lives and memories. I also included funny things done or said by our children, grandchildren and grandchildren.
About the Author: I was born a sharecropper's son during the Great Depression. After Dad had a heart attack, we left the farm and moved 26 times during my 17 years at home, as Dad tried to find jobs to support the family. One of my English teachers told me I should be a writer, but I wanted to be an electronics engineer. The Navy trained me in electronics. I became an instructor and a technical writer. I made a living writing technical manuals the rest of my life. As I told stories to my children and grandchildren about places we had been and the variety of things we had seen and done, they kept telling me to 'write it down'. I wrote many stories, but they kept hounding me to put them into a book. I finally rewrote and reorganized some of the stories into a couple of books.
