We were poor and did not have story books as I remember. My strongest memory is of making up stories for my brothers and I when I was about kindergarten age. I remember them asking me to repeat stories which I was unable to do because they had been the products of my imagination. An avid reader, I was one of the public librarys most faithful customers.
In college I discovered my skills at combining my interest in music with my interest in reading.

Once I retired, I fulfilled a promise to myself and purchased a computer with some of my retirement funds. I took advantage of my retirement to increase the time available to develop my story telling skills.
