Backfields of My Memory

I lived in a very special time and place that most of those who lived there have forgotten. Or, due to time and age, they cannot remember how wonderful it was. And those who have come since do not realize what happened, how it happened and how very special this time and place really was. It was a time before electricity, running water, indoor bathrooms and telephones. Before I forget, I want to I tell my stories for the benefit and education of my children, grandchildren and all the generations that are to come. The message I want to pass on is that the essence of life and happiness has absolutely nothing to do with material things but has everything to do with loving and caring for each other.

I retired in May 2009 after working forty-eight years with GE/RCA. I started writing stories about my youth on the suggestion of my grandson, Bradley Mauger. I now live in Clermont, Florida, with Marilyn, my wife of fifty years. I am the father of three beautiful and successful daughters and granddaddy to four wonderful grandchildren.
