This is a human interest story of the author's life. It spans his
life from his toddler years to well into his retirement. He came
from poor uneducated beginnings. Extreme bashfulness was a
hindrance most of his life. Haunted by an unsupportive and wife-
abusing dad he is spurred on to better himself in every way. He
marries young and has a lifelong story book romance. Determined to
do well for his beloved wife, he works his way to a degree with no
financial aid. Two children were born along the way. This was
accomplished by attending full time day school while working full
time at night. Undeterred and with the emotional aid of a very
supportive wife he goes on to earn a doctorate degree in chemistry
acquiring two more children along the way. The next step is a
successful career at DuPont and the birth of twins. Public speaking
haunts him through most of his life, but he finally conquers it to
become an accomplished speaker. He is promoted twice, finally to
Senior Supervisor in research at DuPont. Just when his career seems
to be blossoming a triple tragedy strikes. Among them is the onset
of multiple sclerosis which causes retirement when he is only forty
eight years old. There is a long period of trying to adjust to the
disability. He was now faced with the inactivity created by the
early retirement. But more importantly his hard earned career was
now destroyed. Then two more tragedies strike. First he contracts
colon cancer but is apparently cured by an operation. But the final
blow is unbearable to him. It is the death off his life-long love,
his wife. Interwoven in the story is the devotion and love between
him and his wife.
