My name is Richard. My friends call me Dick. Please become my friend. This novel is not about me, even though my wife Bobbie, sometimes questions that it is. Well maybe just a little bit, is kind of like some things in my life, and some of the experiences I had while in the navy. I was born in the early thirties. My hometown was Irondale, Alabama. Yes, I did join the Navy; No, I did not see action in Korea. On returning home from the navy, I married a girl from Bessemer, Alabama. We have five children, eleven grand's and two greats. We raised our children on a farm: cows, pigs, chickens and several horses. From day one God has always been good to me. Our empty nest came all to soon. We lost our oldest child, who was a great inspiration to our family and after his long fight with cancer, at age of thirty-five. I dedicate this book to his memory. "John & Peggy" has become a part of my life. Sometimes they are almost real to me. I hope you will enjoy my book and it will bring back the memories of happy times in your life.
