Chasing Clouds

Ten years of my life 1943 to 1953 covered in this sketch were formidable years for me. It was a time when I was crazy sometimes, rather stupid more times than I would like to remember while I was simply growing up. Most of the facts are there, sometimes skewed by my fading memory, but in general they are factual. I have tried to include things like my desires for attention, my friendships and relation¬ships with family and much about the influ¬ence my family had on me. I have not attempted to tell all and show all. It is only an endeavor to bring out some of the best and some of the most memorable worst times of my life. I have attempted to keep some of the more amusing times of my life in the forefront, but not to over exaggerate them.
