"Daddy, what did you do when you were young?" Many children ask this question. My daughter would say back, "Daddy, you're kidding me!"

"Daddy, what did you do when you were young?" Many children ask this question. My daughter would say back, "Daddy, you're kidding me!" I did much thinking and decided, before I became too old to think, to write an account of my "growing up". I wanted my father to do the same, but his story was never written. In one town, there was an elder, Clayton Mack, who had a stroke. While under care, he told his nurses' many stories. These ramblings were written and placed in order. Two books were then published. I suppose Clayton was the reason I attempted the same. Therefore, here I am, writing away. As my thoughts are put to prose, another purpose of doing this comes forward. Composing, the process of story writing makes one think much more of what makes a person who he is.
Autorenporträt
I live in the Cowichan Valley, which is a bit north of Victoria on Vancouver Island. I was the computer resource teacher of the Cowichan School District. That was 20 years ago. I still fix the odd computer and keep my machines in running order. I have an iMac, MacBook, iPad, iPhone and an ancient Apple. My family consists of a boy, Rodger and grandson Dallas, a girl, Cordelia, her husband Graham and granddaughter Anna. My wife, Coral, has passed on. I have moved into a condominium in the town of Duncan. I keep myself busy doing printing projects for the Masons and Shriners. I travel a bit and DVD's are made of most journeys. My website, www.engelson.ca contains an early history of British Columbia as our Engelson ancestors left many footprints. This book would be one of those "footprints".
