This book was started after retirement to fill my spare time, with not thoughts of publishing. However, as the number of poems grew, and I started writing about my family, the thought occurred that they and others mentioned might like a copy. Also, I have included information about my family in which, sooner or later, the next three or four generations may be interested. For these reasons, I have decided to have the poems printed. They were a joy to write, and I hope they will bring similar joy to all who read them.
