This is an account of my life that I myself remember. I am sure there are people that read this will say, "No wait a minute that isn't the way it happened." I stayed with the truth as I saw and I realize the truth is liquid and that I, alone, bear the full responsibility of the telling. This is not a documentary; it is my very best effort. I try to understand the difficult people, looking back.My wife Madeline and I are enjoying retirement in Goodyear, Arizona. She keeps busy with her sewing and crafts and me with my painting and writing. We have a happy life. If you are ever in our area, stop in for a cup of coffee we always enjoy visitors.Keywords: Lompoc, Southern California, Mojave Desert, Oregon, Wyoming, Yellowstone Park, Montana, Santa Barbara, Downey, Los AngelesOther Works by M S Johnson--The Bloody Road of GoldThe Three Little Pigs in MontanaA Christmas Wagon of Love and JoyLemon Ice Box Pie
