As a young boy growing up a couple miles from a small town and having a father who had cancer of the throat and heart problems we didn\'t have much money.
I do hope you enjoy the book as I have had a fun life..
I am on the activities committee where we live.
I am still very active.
I would get my picture taken hundreds of times per day.
I rode in a horse drawn carriage into the downtown area. for five years.
I was the official Santa in Leavenworth, Wa.
For the last 25 years I have put the Red Suit on at Christmas.
I had a lot of fun in school and was very popular as I have a great sense of humor which I still like making people laugh.
In school I took a lot of classes that helped me get my first job in Alaska as a Secretary.
A neighbor boy would come over sometimes and we would sneak into the garden and eat some fresh peas out of the pod or sneak some strawberries.
We always had big gardens which I got to weed but my mother would pick the vegetables.
We always had lots of chickens laying eggs.
We had at times a cow for milk and a pig for meat.
We lived about 2 miles from town with 7 1/2 acres of land with most of it in trees except about one acre aRound the house.
Growing up outside a small town of 2,500 was a challenge.
Working for RCA on three different programs, I was given a chance to learn a lot and given lots of responsibilities during my life as you will see in the book.
All through life I worked on improving my life and proud of what I have done without any college.
