When I was approximately four years old, my parents, along with other relatives, left Oklahoma and went to California in order to find work. I then spent my youth in and about Los Angeles, California, where I went to school. I graduated high school from the Lynwood High School in 1954. Upon graduating, I joined the air force and remained in the air force for twenty years. I was married in 1958 to Rosalie I. Fadley. We had four children, two girls and two boys. My wife died on the November 2, 1993. I have not remarried. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints in 1954. I have done nothing significant or of note since. I began writing this book approximately ten years ago. I have spent my life in the study of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have held many responsible positions in the church. I was ordained a high priest in the Church of Jesus Christ.ver menos
