An informal reminiscence, this oral history details events that took place over nearly ninety years. It is of interest in its own right and also as a resource that could be drawn upon in the future for more formal historical work. It has been carefully reviewed and revised by the narrator himself, and organized for readability by the editor. Some bio-bibliographical information, a list of bibliographical references, and an index have been added to increase ease of use.
