Interlude

Author’s note…
It has come to my attention that there may be some discrepancies or inaccuracies in the facts of these recollections. After some 45 plus years since their occurrences, I’ll admit that my memory has a tendency to let me down a bit. I know that these events happened and that most of them involved other people. The shortcomings of my mental diary may have caused a mix-up concerning the locations of which events that involved what person. Add to that the fact that these were adolescent experiences now recounted through an adult’s perspective with a more mature interpretation and, the others who were there might be left wondering why their recollection is different than mine. In other words; I may not have precisely told my friend “not to dawdle too long lest he sink and be lost at sea” but, had I been 59 years old on that day, I surely would have.

Anyway… back to the story!
