My Grains of Sand

This is the story of my upbringing in Georgia, the post-Depression days of the 1930–1950s, my school years, puberty, those problems with the bullies in school, learning how to fight, my teen years, problems with authority, learning how to make money legally and illegally, falling in love, marriage of twenty-five years, my first wife’s serious health problems, our children, why we moved to Arizona for my first wife’s survival, the story of my second marriage of forty-two years, and my second wife’s untimely death. This is a love story of the two women in my life and how we remained friends and family through it all.
