That’s a nice photo of me. I am convinced that people just don’t read much anymore.

I read a lot less books than I used to, but mostly it’s ebooks these days as my house has enough print copies I am afraid the floor will collapse into the basement if I get too many more print books. I do a lot of reading for blog posts as well as reading other bloggers like you.

I decided to purchase your Sketches ebook. I downloaded it to my Kindle app on my laptop as I prefer the larger screen to my phone’s much smaller screen. I will try to read it over the next few days. I did start the preface. I feel if an author puts one in a book, I should read it.

You are welcome. I was surprised when you mentioned your father being born there. I thought my birth certificate was wrong on my father’s birthplace being Portsmouth, Virginia. Turns out I was half-right. His parents were from East Lake, Dare County, North Carolina. I always thought he was most likely born there. He joined the Air Force from Portsmouth and I think Mom assumed he was born there. Turns out a few years ago, I found a birth certificate from Norfolk, Virginia for Dad. Not sure what my grandmother was doing in Norfolk, and those in the know are all dead. Within 6 years, they moved from East Lake to Manteo and were there for at least the 1940 census. In 2 years, the 1950 census should be out and I am guessing they had moved to Portsmouth by then.
