| Introduction | I have always felt a compulsion to write. It is an important part of who I am. I am married for over 50 years to my high school sweetheart who met me in Hawaii for a military wedding on my R&R from Vietnam. We have three wonderful sons. My mother was a Wilson, born in the old Moore Community near Ojibway in Wayne County, MO, my father a Ragan of Hardeman County, TN. My favorite places to be are the Florida Keys (lived within 30 minutes for 10 years) and any time I can spend in Wayne County, Missouri (the place of so many childhood memories). I love retirement with Sandy, my wife, and any time on the water I can spend fishing and exploring with my brother Ken, sons and grandchildren. |
