He was the seventh single birth born into the Miller clan of ten children with two sets of twins. Born in the middle of the two sets of twins, he entered the world exactly one year and one day after the first set and two years and five months before the second. The early years of his life were consumed imitating every movement, emotion and thought of his brother, Tommy, the fifth born and elder brother, by two years. The dynamics of the Miller family consisted of five girls and five boys, five left handed and five right. The names and age differences are as follows: Brenda Joyce-1947; Clarence Fredrick-1949; Gregory-1950; Sharen-1951; Thomas Edward-1952; Teresa Ann and Terry Alan (Twins)-1954; Steven Eugene-1955; Cynthia Diane and Carolyn Denise (Twins)-1957. Life in such a large family, with the closeness of age, was like a mini United Nations. The alliances were Tommy, Terry and Stevie (TTS); Teresa, Cindy and Carol (TCC); Clarence and Greg (CG) and the final was Brenda and Sharen (BS). Within each nation at 2539 Lexington Avenue, there were constant battles for supremacy of everything from control over the TV to command of the telephone. The co-chairmen, our parents, of the U. N. settled most disputes with a conference-call in the basement. Through the years, these conferences re-affirmed the closeness of the nations as a whole. The author, through his parents, has learned to manipulate all adversities in life with a little humor and a strong dose of faith. The spirit guides the destiny of Semmaster into the humorous, complex and reflective thoughts of a little man.view less
