The story Im about to tell isnt just about a boy who grew up from the second grade through the eleventh grade in the lap of comfort in a large home on an inspiring 84acre estate in upstate New York being forced in his senior year of school to move with his parents and two siblings 788 miles away sleeping on five canvas cots in a small one room apartment in the poorer lower east side of Milwaukee Wisconsin. It happened in 1957 but while my candle still burns, there are two persons of character, my mother and my father and what Ive grown up thinking was a dark circumstance I found myself in my senior year in high school. A situation Ive felt had deeply affected my life. I only recently discovered Ive had the facts of what had happened and the circumstances that surrounded them wrong all these many years. Ive learned what really happened to my parents at the timenot to me or my brothers but to my parentsand what my parents chose to do about ithow they kept it to themselves. Id be remiss if I didnt put pen to the story while my candle glows. I ask your patience in my early year preface and buildupthe story I want to tell began unraveling when I was fifteen years oldsixtyeight years before I started to write the sentence youre reading now. It has taken a large wedge of my lifetime to discover the truth, its meaning to my parents legacies and how it will forever change what Ive grown old wrongfully remembering as a traumatic, unhappy ending for my parents oh so many years ago....
