Introduction

This manuscript is one of a kind, nothing has ever been written like it before, the story begins in 1941 with the first memory I can date and what I remember and explains why I grew up so completely different from the majority of other children that I went to school with.

Early Life

I begin in Petaluma, California as a small boy and continue through the years telling of the hardships, struggles, and sorrows my family and relatives faced as they worked and camped in the different orchards on Highway 99 or the 101 and barely making enough money to feed them and buy gas to the next job.

Family Work Life

Then during the winter each year, Dad worked on chicken ranches or such until the spring when we would start all over again. That happened until the summer of 1949 when my family settled in Yountville, California.

Conclusion

Where the story ends when I joined the Navy at age seventeen on the 18th of January 1955.
