My Life

As I have aged, I have been more fortunate than many of my peers. For one, although I am forgetful my memory still serves me well, and I believe better than most. What I write here is the truth as I know it.

I consider my life to be in five 20 year phases. Although not exactly a full 20 years, close enough to be meaningful. I will therefore divide my life into five chapters. The final chapter, of course cannot be completed by me, but I will provide as much as I can.

My 80 plus years of life cannot be condensed into this document without omitting a great deal. However, I will attempt to hit most of the highlights and describe certain occurrences in as much detail as possible. This then is a small autobiography that I make available so my descendants can know who I am (or was) if they have any interest.

Select one of the five sections under "Hap's Tales" to read about those phases of my life.
