<DIV>I was an only child, just me, mom, and dad. They told me very little about my family and I only knew one cousin, and both set of grandparents.</DIV>
<DIV>So I decided to have something about my life to leave for my kids. Someone from this list suggested that I write a Personal History.</DIV>
<DIV>Well some 34 pages later I have. My kids (kids!, my son is 55!) learned of this and wanted to see it. But I told them "NO!, you can see it when I'm gone!!" </DIV>
