Once Upon a Zeitgeist: : An Autobiography and Genealogical Excerpts

By Donald Lee Rowe and Donald Lee Rowe

Actual fact. Secondhand hearsay. Faded memory. Wishful fantasy. This book contains accounts of my life based on one of these. Most is actual fact as I recall it. Naturally, as I get older, my memory gets a little fuzzy. However, a faded memory is better than no memory at all.There may even be a few cases where I have fantasized for years about something happening a certain way. Constant fantasies can work their way into your mind as a reality. The big problem is it is almost impossible for someone of my age to differentiate what the memory of a particular fact is based on. A memory is a memory.This is not meant to be a historical or literary document. Not only do I want my descendants to know me, but also I feel they may be able to get a clearer picture of the zeitgeist (look it up), the mood of the people and country, and of the physical and social environment of my time.I read a quote once, which said, "No one is ever gone until they are forgotten." Hopefully, this autobiography will keep me and some of my ancestors around for awhile.
