From Whence We Came

Over the years I have accumulated in my garage and closets photo albums, journals, notes, letters, movies, video tapes, and boxes of "stuff" that my family and my wife Martha's family have randomly saved. I don't represent the accounts as facts. They are what I remember, which is why it is called a memoir. All of these tell stories about lives and my goal has been to organize them, identify the people in the pictures, and tell their stories so that I can have a better understanding of from whence we came.
