    About this ebook

    Once upon a time . . .
    How else do you start a story on a white blank screen? Do you open the tale with some far-out statement that
    you, the author, have to maintain chapter by chapter? Or do you leave the writer some leeway to spin his or
    her story? Once upon a time gives the author that privilege.
    Lets start with a life that began because of some quirk of nature. Normally, when the many halves of a new
    life struggle their way up the warm, moist channels to meet the other half of a new life, one new life-form
    develops. However, in this particular sexual encounter, two spermatozoa overcame the odds and managed
    to penetrate a pair of ovum. Now two new life-forms begin their migration down the channel to fasten their
    growing cell bodies to the nourishing walls of the womb. Nine months later, two baby boys were born (a
    traumatic event probably best not remembered) and began their life journey.
    In the evolving tale, it will be up to the reader to determine if this is a compilation of fact, a mixture of fact
    and fi ction, or just pure fi ction. The fraternal twins grew up on a farm in the Midwest, and some of the rigors
    of farm living in the 1920s are part of the tale. However, it is used only to set the stage for one twins story.
    But wait! The twins were not alone. Two brothers preceded them so closely in this family that only two years
    separated the youngest from the oldest. A sister was born when the twins were fi ve. The mother of these fi ve
    children died shortly after the fi fth baby was born. The fathers mother stepped in to care for the newborn and
    at the same time tackled the task of raising and infl uencing the lives of four rambunctious boys. Five years
    later, the father remarried, and fi ve children were born to this second marriage, but so much later that they
    had little to no infl uence on the character of the elder fi ve.
    The fi rst four were close enough in age to present the same parental challenge as quadruplets. Each
    brother probably infl uenced another; however, the story is not about some personality trait caused by the
    close association with one another. A graduate student in psychology could write an A+ term paper on the
    interaction of the four completely different personalities.
    No doubt the many daily routines of maintaining a general-purpose farm infl uenced the path each brother
    would follow in later life. As soon as each boy was big enough (age six or seven), they were assigned
    choresthat is, feed the chickens, feed and milk the cows, slop the pigs, clean the barn, and so onto do
    all the daily menial jobs it takes to operate a small farm stead. The tasks grew harder as the brothers aged
    and grew stronger.
    Farming in the early years of the twentieth century required input from every able-bodied individual needing
    the life-supporting sustenance provided by the land and animals. The father, the Old Man, on this farm had a
    constant battle to keep everyone carrying their share of the workload.
