From 1945 until 1962 the life-shaping experiences and surrounding
conditions of one World War II orphan as he develops into manhood
serve as poignant reminders for all of us of what was good, bad,
and ugly about those times. In this recantation, readers may find
an occasional suggestion for some of the cultural, moral, or social
problems plaguing a troubled country of apathetic oldsters,
confused Baby Boomers, and educated Generation X-ers. Some may,
through the eyes of a little white war-orphan, experience the
personal turmoil generated as an oppressed and subdued "Negro"
culture rose to claim its rightful place in our society. Some may
even catch glimpses of Arkansas politics and how it affected the
lives of the people in these stories. These are my stories and the
way I have relived them for you. And those who have read them
strangely feel a compulsion to share their own stories and to write
them for their own family and friends. To write about your own life
is to live it again and this time with much more relish than
before. It is truly a miracle that we survived our youth using
today's standards. But survive we did and many of us even thrived
either because of what life threw in our paths...or in spite of the
circumstances and challenges we faced.
