Two sisters and a brother in 1969

I’m in the back left, 15years old, my sister Linda is 14, and my brother, back right, is 11. Little sister Liz is 8 years old.

I'm Ric, and this picture is of me in 1967. I've had a blog about Barnstorming since 2000. My website has changed many times over the years, and I've never advertised the site.

My life has been a little trying as I was slightly autistic, maybe dyslexic, and possibly ADD, and a lousy memory.

Back in 1967, I don't think they even had those terms. Luckily, I was born very determined. I've been called driven, and that has gotten me through life this far to 74 years old.

I have Parkinson's, and it's getting worse; I can type sometimes, but not on bad days. But now trying to use dictation on Word.

All in all, I've had a good life. I've had many, many experiences in life that I write about; believe me, I could never make it up.

Writing for me is just plain relaxation, and I just admit to a. few friends that I have a website. If I ever provide a moment of introspection to a person, I would be a happy, happy person.

I will start sending pictures and talk about my life, although I don’t want to scare someone away.

Just as a note: I most of the time say when I’m using AI or not. At least I try!
