The Ten of Us

This is the tale of an ordinary kid drawn into extraordinary experiences by the needs of his country in an all-out war. It began at the urging of my daughter Ellen Doyle by setting down a few personal experiences for the grandkids. It has grown somewhat but is still limited to a narrow timeframe involving a rather small number of people. Ellen provided more than inspiration like converting my longhand copy to a computer record. With memory the primary source and one thought triggering another a rambling account is inevitable. So a rambling account is what you get and remember it's all as I remember it. I hope you will find this part of my life interesting. I enjoyed living it and I hope you enjoy reading it.
