I've alwys considred my father, "old school". Not that he was backward in any way, just that he was comfortably old in his style, words and habits . Born in Ireland in 1918 he always thought of himself as a true Irish man. Raised at very different time, it is hard to believe in just a few decades society, culture and life changed so dramatically. Being Irish he had the gift of eloquence and I often found it difficult to distinguish his tales of truth from fiction, since even the truth, was at times, unbelievable. In his belief, his memories and thoughts were largely truthful and to avoid any confusion or potential comparisions being drawn, we will call this tale, a work of complete fiction . "A fictional biography". But, should you choose to research elements of his story I am sure you will be surprised by the amount of fact within. I dedicated this book to the wonderful memories of my father. It was his life and it's his story. The times he lived through and the childhood he experienced; we will never see their like again since they are sadly now assigned to history and lost in time.
