I have had a life-long fascination with people and their life
stories. I also realize that, although my own life has not brought me
particular fame or fortune, I too have had some noteworthy experiences and, at
times, unusual ones. Since I joined this Story Time group, I have derived
pleasure and satisfaction participating in the group. I do put some
thought and effort into my stories, and I hope that you find them interesting.
