The author’s father was killed in a coal mine accident in 1935, leaving the author’s mother a single parent of nine children and of little income. Since social security had not been enacted the author’s family were subsided on a $5 per child per month allowance from the mine. This allowance was only up to the sixteenth birthday. The author’s family lived in poverty during the hard times brought on by the Great Depression of 1930. The author was the first child in the family to graduate high school and soon afterwards served in the USAF during the Korean War as an air traffic controller.
The author married in 1956 and had four children and moved to Brooklyn, New York, continuing his career as an air traffic controller for the FAA until he retired in 1986. He is currently residing in Wading River, New Jersey, with his wife of fifty-eight years.ver menos
