It's getting close to a year since the last post here. I just wandered down through all of the previous posts and I didn't notice any memories that had been missed. I could be wrong, in fact, I'm sure that I am. At the age of 77 my memory is failing. That's one reason why I am so glad that I put all of these memories into this blog. I am really hoping that my children and grandchildren will take the time to find out more about their father and grandfather. These stories also include my failings as well as some accomplishments. I am very proud of the work I did and I am grateful to have met so many wonderful people while I was doing it. Of course Alex Akoury tops the list as he was my original mentor. He drove me unmercifully and I used to dread seeing him come to inspect my work. Yet he became my dearest friend over the years. During his last year, he and I would call one another and spend an hour or more on the phone just retelling the stories of the jobs we had done together. I was incredibly sad when he died and now I am old but have no one to talk about those memories with.
Okay, I will try my best to find any missing stories so that this Working blog is complete before I go. In the meantime, please enjoy what I have written and try not to notice the many errors in punctuation and grammar. I know they are there, I just noticed half a dozen as I skimmed through this blog from beginning to end. I'm sure there are more. Be sure to start at the beginning as then it will make more sense to you.
