A Father’s Legacy

While waiting for taxi customers, I found a library to sit at and work on “A Father’s Legacy” book. It is a book in which a Father answers questions concerning his childhood, to help his children get a picture of what life was like, then! I was given this book as a gift, probably 30 years ago! It will get finished. I had put many of the questions in my computer, so I could write things out, editing, etc. and then put the answers into the book in perfect penmanship, and with the same color pen. Well I did deviate with the same ink idea, and I suspect some of the words will be hard to read, since some of it was cursive, and written while holding the book on the steering wheel of my taxi van! Have a good day, leaving a legacy for someone.
