Sketches-Recollections-Thoughts (including the occasional apocryphal story)

Forward

This blog contains articles about various people and places I have known. The basis of each essay lies with my memories, therefor some details are not "factual," per se.
The human memory tends to forget some points salient to a situation and embellishes others. This is as it should be, for as we grow older (the gods willing, gracefully) our memories of past events are sometimes fonder for the recalling.
Each of this essays is dated. The date is the one on which I completed it and not meant to indicate that is was completed in as single setting. Some I have written in my mind over a period of months. Others in just a few hours.
Although these essays may have been "written" jn my mind, they were actually composed as a I committed them to paper - the first entries here, anyway - therefore there may be some errors and revisions - making this blog a working draft as opposed to a finished work.
