It Always Rains on Monday

I think it's important that we have a sense of our personal history. I've always wished that I had talked to my grandparents about their lives. This book was written in order that my children and their children have a sense of where this branch of the family began. I feel that I have a story to tell that will interest not only my family and friends, but others who can identify with life in a small, close knit community. I'm also writing this for personal fulfillment.

I was born in Ironton, Ohio in 1932 during the Great Depression. After high school graduation, I joined the Army and spent three years as a tank commander stationed in Germany. After the Army, I graduated from Marshall University with a degree in medical technology. I later obtained a degree in dentistry from Howard University and I've practiced dentistry for the past forty-five years.
