See " A Story for My Children" for far more than you may be interested in about who I am and where I came from. I have accomplished my major objective - to share our history and my writings and views with my children. This blog is solely an exercise in self expression. It is not intended for broad consumption but only to share with friends and family. Take from this what you may without obligation to comment. Though this is my story, some parts may have more universal appeal because in essence it is about 300 years of pursuit of the American dream and participation in the ever unfolding American experience.
