My first 17 years taught me the value of people and resources.
At the close of my 22nd year, I finished school and got married.
Time kept rolling along and our first child was born 14 months later.
The mobility bug struck, and we continued moving place to place.
Stability took hold in 1978 and planted our feet on the west coast.
Ocean tides, seals, sea sand, sea gulls, and fog horns were friends.
Now retired, rarely tired, seldom hurried, and not much worried.
