  • Outstanding narrative!

    I’m very grateful to this gentleman for writing his life story, it’s a window into the past.

    Much thanks to the volunteers that read this narrative, also i appreciate the fella that read chapter 10, although I did have some trouble understanding him, i just had to focus a little more than normal. That aside, I was well pleased….I’ll be on the lookout for the book, if I’m fortunate , I may even find an original.
