Description
Having worked for almost fifty years of my life and ultimately retiring from two separate careers, I found myself sitting at home, obsessed with the question, what do I do now?
I watched numerous daily programs on TV. I knew I had to do something or risk the chance of just fading away. During these thought processes, I wondered back over my life, day in and day out. For some reason, I found it difficult to believe that I had accomplished so much in my life yet so little. I knew there was more to come.
After stumbling upon some memories, which I thought were long forgotten, I just knew I had to put those thoughts to paper before they were forgotten again. Thus began three years of writing my life story, so much so that some publishers recommended I write two books. The motivation to write my life story was also a desire to leave my two children, five grandchildren, and now five great-grandchildren some semblance of not only my life story but that of our immediate ancestors. This book is my legacy in my own words, the way I saw it, for them and others who may be interested in the story of a little boy from Selma, Alabama.
