It's hard for anyone
to share their life's stories without writing a book. I didn't want to do that
but I did want to do something with the photo albums, audio tapes and movies
left by my parents and grandparents.

Our move from Santa
Rosa Beach, Florida to Sandy, Utah in 2013 with boxes stacked on boxes of not
only my family memories but also my wife's was the breaking point that I had to
do something very soon ...MemKpr was created to solve the problem and make
sharing with other family members and friends around the world as easy as
sending emails.

The slide show at the top left will give you a 7 picture snap shot of my life, but these pictures are only a quick flash from my past.
Using MemKpr to tell my story has given me access to every current story telling technology available today. No longer tied to the limits of publishing a printed book, I can use all media for my tools. On this page alone you have access to my written words, my pictures, a slide show, old movies from my growing up years, and the ability to click on Hyperlinks to whisk you away on my magic carpet to visit the house I grew up in and visit all the chapters of my life.
The best part of MemKpr is I can add more stories and details any time I think of something new. You can't do that with a printed book. Now on with my story.
In
this starting chapter I would like to go back and see just how much I can
remember from my early, early memories. Let me take you back to the first
house I remember living in. At 1242 Pinchot Place in
1947

Maps provide a perfect way for each of us to travel back in time to visit the
towns, cities and neighborhoods we still remember. Most likely you will
even find your old house, just where you left it.

my life. Click on the links below the pictures and they will lead

growing and will never be finished as long as I'm living and making memories
each and every day.
