A Genealogical Diary and Autobiography of David Michael LaTouche

About the Book

I have written my personal diary and autobiography in memory of my dear and departed mother, Mary Maxine Roome (maiden name). Even though I never had the pleasure of knowing her, I have been told that her greatest desire was to write her story. Since she wasn’t able to achieve this, I am making an effort to gratify her desire by explaining how I came to be, while honoring both my father, Galen Arthur LaTouche, and my mother, Mary Maxine Roome, whom I surely would have loved so very much if I had been given the chance. From having been a ward of the courts and the State of Indiana upon my birth and being placed in foster homes and orphanage homes, as well as state mental institutions, during my younger years, I experienced many frustrations of not knowing who or where my natural family was.
