"I have had it in mind for several years to put down on paper since my birth on March 23, 1913. There have been ample signs, in terms of aches and pains, to remind me that the fine body I was given by my parents' genes and their love and care is not immortal and that, if I want to pass on to my grandchildren some part of the flavour of a life that began early in the 20th century, I had better get started" - from the Prologue.
