I sit here, overwhelmed with memories and images of everything that's "been" since I first stumbled upon MLU and in retrospect, I know I've been very slow to "get on with it" regards the point of my being here, and the point of my first post. (my life has gone through many upheavals and major changes, including geographical, which slowed me down)

I know I now have enough information and some understanding regards my Uncle and his story to be able to start the last phase of this whole "point" ... "putting the story down on paper".

By the end of this third year, I promise that I will have completed my "writings" for my family history ... and for the places/people who want/requested information. I'm no author or expert, but the point is in the preservation of history and the honouring of a special man for his part and sacrifice for us. The story is more important than the writing of it ... but I hope I'll be able to do a good job that you "experts" will appreciate too. If anything, youve all been involved in this, even if just by "reading" the threads regards my Uncle. You know him now too ... through me and MLU Members posts
