My Circumstantial Odyssey

I began writing initial drafts of this memoir in late 1994, not knowing where

it would take me or when it would end. Though greatly expanded from

where I began, my intention is still for my memoir to be fairly focused . . .

focused somewhat chronologically on personal and societal changes within

specific generations of my family's and my country's past, including our legacy

with wars.

Some segments have been fast-forwarded through as they are impertinent,

insignignicant, or reveal things too heavy...
