Family Ties

Two sisters and a brother in 1969

i''m in the back left 16 years old, my sister Linda is 14 and my brother, back right was 11. Little sister Liz is 8 years old.

I'm Ric, and this picture is of me in 1969. I've had a blog about Barnstorming since 1988, my web site changed many times over the years and i've never advertised the sites. My life has been difficult as i was alittle autistic, very deslexsic, ADD, and had the short term memory of someone in these days having dementia. Luckily i was born a very determined man. I've been called driven and that has got me through life this far to 74-year-old. I've gone to the same church forever and still i go over names of my friends i've known for 30 years with my wife in the car on the way to church so i can remember thier names.

Generally, i don't talk much about myself and this is me now after 30 odd years of writing web sites admitting who i am in life and what makes me tick.

I have Parkinson's and it's getting worse i can type sometimes, but on bad days i'm now trying to use dictation on word. I have so many things wrong with my body physically i'm requiring a nurse 4 hours a day and hours a day for someone to clean house and.take care of me as a trained Aid and watch out for my health.

All and 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 web site. If i ever provide a molment of introspection to a person I would be a happy, happy person.

I will start sending pictures and talk about my life and how I've survived it!!

Ric
