Abstract

This story includes no duels, sheer mountain climbs, death-defying leaps, or other revelations of individual feats. There were, however, many exciting happenings during my time. That is not an apology, merely an explanation. All generations have periods of turmoil, trial, challenge, and response; these often define the periods. My generation’s time includes global depression, world war and aftermaths, the United Nations, genocides, discrimination, civil rights movement, religious and cultural conflict, disasters, and multiple other human rights issues.
