My great uncle was able to trace my maternal family roots all the way back to the original Dutch settlers of the area. I now live in Missouri but will soon be moving to Tennessee to live out my retirement starting in April 2019. I have other stories that I need to put to paper when I have that precious free time. This book is a collection of poems that I have written since moving to Missouri in 2001. I hope you find them enjoyable.view less
