Memories of my childhood - riding Fleet Foot, my stick horse in the back yard, making Mulberry pies and pastries, writing coded messages in invisible ink, creating a back yard circus the equal of Barnum and Bailey, all this with a sense of endless, leisurely time - swept over me one afternoon as I reminiscenced in a pensive mood. Quickly following these thoughts were those of how vastly different my memories would be when my grandchildren mused about their own childhoods and compared them to mine. But at the same time, I was struck by the fact that while vastly different - separated by decades and experienced in a digital world unimaginable in my youth - similarities and never-to-be diminished universal truths existed between the two. The yin/yang of this relationship, this dichotomy, captured my attention. Today family stories are most often passed down from generation to generation, in the oral tradition of ages past, around the dinner table or at special family celebrations, but a tangible, written account is valuable, too.It is in the historic sense of a chronicler that I pass these stories on to you.
