Just Looking Back

In The Year 1943 I Might Have Seen Some Progress In The Fight Against Nazi Germany But Bombs Were Still Falling On The City In Which I Lived. Amidst This Chaos I Entered The World On April 29 1943 And Began A Life Which Offered Much Variety And A Fair Degree Of Excitement. The Work In A Government Agency The Years Volunteering As A Special Police Officer The Several Failed Marriages And The Finding Of My Birth Family Following My Early Adoption Kept Me Extremely Occupied For Most Of My Life. . I Soon Began To Learn What Life Was All About. There Were Never Any Easy Answers And I Resented The Suggestion That I Was Just Lucky! All I Needed In My Early Years Was Admittedly Some Sweets And Comics And Sufficient Entertainment To Keep Me Happy. Later Life Became Harder And Often Decidedly Unhappier. . This Is Perhaps Where I Should Begin. My Life Was Amusing And Sad In Equal Proportions But Above All It Represents A Genuine Account Of A Very Average Life Lived By Many In A Very Ordinary Environment That Seemed To Answer More Questions Than Were Ever Posed.
