Just after the Great Depression, I was born on a farm, and my heart and soul will always remain there. I attended a one-room country school and then Paris High School and eventually attended the University of Illinois. I did not finish college until almost fifty years later. I married my childhood sweetheart, and we have three children. I have enjoyed farming, social work, and teaching. My hobbies were playing softball, camping, and visiting my grandchildren. I am now semiretired and still interested in reading and writing.vizualizați mai puține
