This is a story of a life; actually, it's the story of multiple
lives. To truly understand each tale, you have to go back to the
beginning. And that beginning takes you to Iron Mountain, Michigan,
where I was born on December 20th, 1924, the second son of Clyde
and Permele Luke. The "Bob" in the letters is my older brother, Dr.
Robert C. Luke. Two years older than me and twice as cocky, Bob and
I had a love-hate relationship. Writing to him as I did was my way
of telling him about the things that were happening in my life, but
also a way to reminisce about the things that I experienced and
wished to remember. Much of the book centers around the events
leading up to my wedding. Meeting my wife of 63 years, our
courtship, the wedding from hell, the years in between, and ending
with our separation in 2012 when Beverly passed on, is the
cornerstone of my life story. But there is so much more, so much
that happened before Bev flipped off the big black bear (read on ),
so much that occurred prior to our having to deal with Bridgers and
red necks in Florida. World War 2 had a profound impact on my life,
as it did on every American who is part of the "Greatest
Generation." Putting my recollection of my time on the island of
Sumar in the South Pacific on paper has allowed me to contribute to
our country's story. My history is the history of thousands of
other sailors who were tens of thousands of miles from home,
fighting a war and wondering when we'd get to go back home. My wish
is for everyone who reads this book to smile, and remember their
own life story, and enjoy mine.
