For Future Generations

I always liked writing. This story is of special value to me for a personal reason. My mother and I had a good relationship, but she died fifty-nine years young. As I thought about how much I valued my mother, I wanted to write about our lives. I believe some of the stories might help resolve old conflicts and promote understanding among family members. Another reason for writing this book is that my mother told me about her experiences growing up in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and was not able to publish them. I have recalled wonderful, often-forgotten experiences and have written them on paper since I retired. I wanted to write a book everyone could read, and I encourage others to write their stories as they live them. I hope this book will help young people as well as future generations to know where they came from and who they are. This book is a gift for every family.
