Following graduation from Speedway high school in 1962 I went on to attend Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I lived on the campus in a dormitory and was enrolled in a 2 year secretarial program.
Upon leaving Ball State I held a job for 32 years in the insurance industry with a big insurance company in Indianapolis, Indiana. After retirement from there I took a job as a cashier with a large grocery store (chain) also located in Indianapolis, Indiana. I greatly enjoyed both of these jobs.
While working at those two jobs I enrolled in several different intermediate and advanced computer night school programs. Taking review classes in beginning and intermediate Spanish interested me. I enrolled in night school to further my study. I plan to keep expanding my knowledge in the Spanish language.
My uncle Norman Edward Robinson became a permanent resident in a nursing home in July of 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana. In June of 1977 I helped my mother, (his sister) dismantle his small 1 bedroom apartment. Wed learned that he would never be able to return to it due to health problems.
I found his last remaining (typed) diary with notations of many of his W.W.II stories tucked away in a drawer. Over nearly the next 5 years I visited with him in the nursing home. Gradually I coaxed him to verbally try to elaborate on those W.W.II stories. At first he was extremely reluctant to discuss the stories. Each time I visited I tried to take very careful notes as he spoke.
Early in 2003, I began working on this book. This has been the first book that I have ever written.visualizza meno
