Happiness in San Francisco Disaster in San Diego and Other Sherwood Family Stories

<p>This book is divided in two parts. The first by far the larger is a recording of events in the history of the Sherwood family whose origins lie in the marriage of Frank P. Sherwood and Frances Howell on February 14 1948. As might be anticipated the first story is about a very happy honeymoon in San Francisco. The last story in Part One relates an experience of the family that grew out of the 1948 marriage now numbering 11 people. They helped Frank and Frances celebrate their 50th anniversary with a week's outing in Devon England. In between these two quite delightful events there were less welcome occasions when things did not go so well. The pets in the family the experience with smoking and the family finances also are subjects found in these chronicles. Part Two reverts to an earlier period before Frank was married and it is essentially concerned with famous people he encountered as a young man. There are brief reports on President Franklin D. Roosevelt the baseball star Ted Williams and famed screen actress Ingrid Bergman all of whom Frank met before his marriage in1948.</p>
