From the Author Memories was written for my grandchildren, a collection of stories and anecdotes concerning the life of an unremarkable individual, their grandfather. I am ignorant of most of the events of my father and mother's life because by the time I was mature enough to ask the questions, both had died. I intitially tried to remedy this with my own grandchildren by telling them stories of "when I was a little boy," but once that phrase was uttered, my granddaughter would roll her eyes and say, "Oh Bubba, not another one." Perhaps someday she will be interested, but in writing this memoir, at least I had fun recalling or trying to recall things that happened to me. Some of the names of individuals have been changed.
