About this ebook
Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only played a small part in it. For example, when writing this book I knew that I needed someone to proof read it. As I neared completion of the book a new co–worker told me of her previous employment with a publisher and that she had done a lot of proof reading. You could just take this as good fortune, but I take as a God thing. He not only met her need for a new job, but at the same time provided a friend to proof my books!

Without a dream we have nothing. What is life but a dream and being able to put a little bit of it to work.

Dedication
DEDICATED TO
MY MOTHER
Who put up with so much and who showed me how to have a good time enjoying the great things that life has to offer.
Preface
Growing up just seems to happen, there is no stopping it. We get older each day. Along the way we have experiences that keep coming back and replaying in our minds over and over again. At some point in life a lot of us will have the urge to write about them. I don’t know if my life is much different than all the other men who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, but I would like to share it with you anyway.
Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only played a small part in it. For example, when writing this book I knew that I needed someone to proof read it. As I neared completion of the book a new co–worker told me of her previous employment with a publisher and that she had done a lot of proof reading. You could just take this as good fortune, but I take as a God thing. He not only met her need for a new job, but at the same time provided a friend to proof my books!
Acknowledgments
To Kathleen for the love and patience she has shown me through the years. For my daughter, Deanna, for the joy she has brought me. I would also like to thank my sister, Pat, for the stories of my past and for keeping the pictures. A special thanks to Jenny, who spent time proofing my work and giving me suggestions.
Chapter 3 Moving around the Southeast
Uniontown
In 1952 we moved to Uniontown, Kentucky. I was 11 at the time and looked forward to the new experience. The company provided houses for the key personnel, and as dad was in charge, mom had first pick. She chose an old farmhouse, and mom got to remodel it totally at company expense. My bedroom was upstairs on the left side, and my sisters shared the bedroom in the back center upstairs with a bath. Mom and Dad had the bedroom upstairs on the right side. The stairway to the first floor was in the center going down to the back door with the kitchen on the right, utility room and garage on the left. Living and dining rooms were at the front.
Uniontown was on the Ohio River and had a levy built all the way around the riverside to the hill on the east side
