Description

Preface While in the 3rd grade, I found myself to having taken an interest in reading. In fact, I had demonstrated an exceptional interest and comprehension while reading most of the books available to me at school. An opportunity presented itself in the form of a competition. My third grade teacher posted a form bearing all the student's names prominently affixed on a classroom wall. A stack of books suitable for third graders were available for taking home. A gold star was placed to the right of a student's name, whenever we submitted a one page summary of that book. That summary would demonstrate whether the student could comprehend the content of the book. I applied myself and earned a lot of stars. Much more stars than any other student. In the third grade, I could provide answers to math problems without having to write anything on a piece of paper, other than the answer. When teachers in the 3rd & 4th grades spoke aloud, saying something like: "what is the answer for 5 + 3 -2 divided by 1.5 x 6?" In many stances, I would raise my hand soon after a teacher had finished speaking. My answers were correct. When we moved to Springfield, mother enrolled us all in Catholic school. All my siblings had books. She did not buy me any books. I failed the 5th grade, for lacking any study materials. I had to retake the 5th grade in a public school. After graduating the 8th grade, my mother hospitalized me and approved the removal of all my upper teeth. I was told that my teeth had a thin white line on my teeth near the gum. I was also told that the bottom teeth should be removed the following year. A few months after surgery, I started my freshman year at Springfield High School, without my upper teeth nor an upper denture. After two days of classes, I was too embarrassed to continue. I joined the US Navy at 17 1⁄2 years old as a high school dropout. (odd to be saying dropping out of something you never started). During boot camp, we had to take tests. My scores were high enough to be assigned to radioman school. After finishing my tour in the service, I returned home & discovered my mother had fled the state after stealing $7,000 from my checking account. I once again entered the civilian job market. I no marketable skill nor education beyond the 8th grade. I had no money. I had no place to live. I had no immediate means to support myself. I had no clothes. I am not saying that mom was cold, but I bet that if someone placed butter into her mouth, that it would not melt. So, what became of me you may ask. I hope you will read this book and find a bit (or two) of inspiration. My lifelong friend Linda recently recalled to me an idiom of human behavior that I had shared with her years ago. She has also found this to be true: "People Never Change". My favorite environmental phrases are: "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints".
