AUTHOR’S NOTE

The subject of this book is often referred to as ‘my father’. He was, in fact, ‘our father’. As the son of the house, my brother knew him from a different perspective.

This is the story of my father in relation to myself. It is, in that sense, only a partial truth. It does not attempt to reflect my brother’s views, although I believe that he shares some of mine.

Some names have been changed.
