I have been keeping a daily journal for the past 12 years. It is now several
floppies long. By making regular small entries, the job of writing one's
personal history is not so overwhelming. My father passed away January
15. Fortunately, he wrote a 75-page history shortly before he died. I will
always cherish his writings.
