I am a retired school teacher. I fought in the Viet-nam conflict and received a purple heart. I am married and have two children. My wife is handicap and I help her alot. I like to write children’s stories and I used to do it while teaching. As my students would listen I decided to use them as a teaching guide. My students needed a lot of help and I incorporated their names in my stories while using vocabulary works and composition writing to encourage them. They loved the stories and I made thousands of copies because they wanted to read them to their little brothers and sisters, and later on in life they tell me they are reading them to their children. Oh, even their parents would tell me that they too had read them. Well, I promised them that some day I would publish them because the really wanted a hard copy. Now, into the future, I had to retire due to my wife’s illness and handicap. I love writing even if nobody reads them anymore.
This is an up date. My wife died about a month ago and I hold her memory dearly so I am not changing what I had written prior to this. Thank you!
