I have finished
reading my dad's "Life History," which he said he wrote because of my urgings. That would have been in about 1961.
This history is brief and has many gaps, but I have learned some things about my dad and have come to know him better than I did. Of course, when I was young, he was just my dad, and I didn't always appreciate him. Now I can see him more clearly because I'm more out of the way.
He was a successful insurance salesman. Very successful and well respected by those he worked with and worked for. Often he mentions placing a policy with someone, and so on.
I have begun making my way through the photographs and the copies of letters and talks included in this history.

This is not his journal. Several times in this history he mentions his journal, as in he would go write in his journal. I suppose Sterling has that. Anyway, Janeen transcribed this history and gave it as a Christmas gift, and I'm glad to have it.
