This is my first book, written primarily to record my family's history for future generations; however, people who have read it thought it would be of interest to many others and when you turn the pages, I hope you too find it informative and interesting. I have also written booklets about each of my beloved dogs (they number 5, so far) and a book of recollections of real, sometimes humorous, adventures. Shirley Gifford-Pritchard
