As a precocious young man of sixteen, he entered college as a seminary student Davenport, Iowa, studying to become a priest. But this was not to be. He soon left the seminary, was married, and raised a family of ten children. He owned and operated Harvest Gold Bakery in Davenport, Iowa, and became a member of the Davenport City Council as alderman-at-large for many terms. After selling his bakery, he joined Iowa State Corrections as a parole officer in Scott County, Iowa. During these years, he became acquainted with a young woman who related her story to him. This is a story, The Story of Jean, which he wrote in 1960 and was never able to have it published.
He left the manuscript to me, his son, in the hopes I would someday have it published. I retyped the entire manuscript from his original and incorporated the various markings and changes into digital format for ease of publication. My father died in 1990.view less
