I am from a mid size town on the east coast. Good stories have always had a special attraction for me. Friends, family and strangers do not always appreciate my stories but are always entertained. Putting them into a readable form has never occurred to me. I am now debilitated and am confined to my home. There are empty days that I now fill in remembrance of things that were or may have been. And now I have a stage on which I may reconstitute memories and stories past.
