Dedication

This book is dedicated in loving memory of my father and mother. Without the sharing of their many stories this early history could not have been written. To them I owe my memories of YESTERDAY

I caught the waves as they rolled by And swept me off my feet

I did not wait for the waves to break

On the rocks where we would meet

I jumped and laughed as the waves rolled high

As a Child having lots of fun

My memory goes back to yesterday

And the home where my life begun
