No Regrets

About the Book

I wrote this for my children, grandchildren and their offspring. I lived at an especially prosperous time. The Depression in the 30s did not affect our family, so we lived a charmed life. After the second world war, life was grand. Everyone could get a job, the middle class was well paid. They were able to buy houses, put their children through college without sacrificing their old age. San Francisco was as beautiful as it is today. The bridges gave easy access to Marin and the East Bay. Traveling abroad became a reality. I wanted to share this with those who are not so lucky.
