Marguerite's Diary

About the Book

If you don’t read anything else, please read this. It is OK to be different. Went I went to school there wasn’t anything as a LD student. If there were I would have been classified as LD. If your speech was slow and you were tongue tied or couldn’t hear to good or if you had dyslexia or couldn’t see too well you would end up in the back of the room. Kids would beat up on me because they though I was different. I was chased home by some of the schoolboys until I found it was a game for them. Since I was in the back of the room I couldn’t hear the teacher too well. When the teacher discovered that I hadn’t done what she said, she came back and hit me with her first in the middle of my back. That was sixty-three years ago and I still have pain in my back. Sometimes I have not been able to walk from this. You should not laugh or make fun of others or old people. After they get up around seventy they mostly talk about sickness and doctors. Some people are Paralyze from the neck down. Some people have dysconia which can give you pain and cripple you. Some people have Parkinson decease or even hiccups or stutter for years. Some people are Mongoloid or have Down syndrome and some have tourette. Or other decease. Some have Lupus.

About the Author

I dedicate this book to my wife and to my mother. I grew up in a time that if you had a roof over your head and a warn house in the wintertime and food and clothes you were rich. My dad had a job at a near by factory. I also was taken to church and with God in your heart you are rich. If I knew then that I was going to write books, I would have studied harder. My mother told me that she didn’t think that I would ever make it through high school, but I did and even went to callage. I help pay for her and my sister collage. We like to travel. When I got old enough to get a car we could travel. I made money on a paper route so we could travel. When I was twelve, with the money from my paper rout, I bought my first piece of land. Then I built a four bedroom house on my second piece of land., I bought more land. I later bought and rented houses and apartments. I go to church because when everything else fails I can read the Bible and find help. If I work at it and try, I find out that I can live much better with God in my heart. I took a speech course at work and was voted the number one speaker of the day, five times. So I started to write down every story in my life that I could remember. I got to seven hundred and decided to put them in a book called “Between the Tracks” which I got published. It is stories about my life and others and also when I traveled in Europe. I have started on two more books.
