How to begin? I had always shuddered at biographies that began, "It was a clear, cold morning in mid-December 1830, when the cry of a newborn baby broke the winter stillness." And once you begin, how to tell the story of a life that had no story?

Every life has a story and IS a story! Some, however, such as my own, are stories that no one would ever want to read.
