No man is an island. Everyone who knew us can tell the world if it is a better place for our being here. I hope so. Your stories should go a long way towards that end. ------------------------------------------- New pictures of working in orchards and fields at Yakima -----------------------------------------
My other blogs
See some of my other blogs
My WW2 experiences
The war memories of Bill Sheldon who is the husband of Virginia Sheldon Kays cousin.
An allmost daily update of an apartment construction project near here. You can watch it grow as I take a picture from the same location every day it is under construction.
A very interesting blog of various slide shows showing Afghanistan, I have a friend in Afghanistan who sends me pictures. These are the real thing. He is in Kabul

How to find someone or subject
I tried different ideas on how to find a subject or someone's post and have concluded that the best way is to just do a simple search. Press ctrl+f to find what you are looking for then type in the subject in the search box. Or click on a lable to find a particular author.
Story is ongoing
This is an ongoing story. If you have read it before go to the end to pick up the story. To see a specific author scroll down a page or two and you will find a list of authors and how to find them. This is one long blog to keep the time line in sequence.
This blog is continually updated with new pictures, comments and re-writing. Especially with new posts by some of the contributors listed. That is beginning to move better now. There is still lots to learn and how to do it better.
Anyone who wants to contribute please contact me by way of comment. You are welcome.
Later.................
So far my bright idea has been a big bust. People are interested but not interested enough to post their stories. So instead I will continue to add to the blog as I manage time from other projects. There is a lot of story to tell yet! What the hey! Others have written 500 page books from less material than I have in 87 years. Stay tuned!
