Growing up in the baby boomer age was much simpler than growing up today. We did things without the fear of getting hurt or dirty without helmets. <br/> My story tells of the rise and fall of me. I have mapped out my life with some of the shenanigans and havoc me and my brother created over a lifetime of drinking and drugging. Surprisingly, I think we both turned out pretty good in the long run. <br/> This is also a story of the beginning to the present of how and why I became an alcoholic. I’m neither ashamed nor proud of my life; only I know who I am. However, you can see the story unfold without BS. Life as a child in the ‘50s and ‘60s was much similar with far less concerns than that of life today being a child. I broke all the rules on my own terms, and you can read how I did it. My army career during the Vietnam conflict is a testament of how things were during that time of turmoil. <br/> As the father of three sons and a daughter, I have been able to watch how they survived without helmets. My first publication in a newspaper was in 1965 at the age of eleven-and-a-half years. I started taking liberal arts courses at a local community college where I was awarded the Roy D’ Arcy Memorial Literature Award in 2018.
