About this listen

Mel Jackson's daughter presented him with a diary on Father's Day and asked him to leave a legacy of words - memories to read to her children after he was gone. The author decided to acquaint her to his father, whom she had never known.

Here is an attempt to set to chronicle an experience that, to a young boy, made no sense. At times, telling his childhood stories to his children caused them to laugh. This time it is to inform, sadden, and also amuse. There is no attempt to vilify, but only describe a young boy's longing for the love of his father. Mel Jackson was born in Columbus, Ohio. He and his wife reside in South Central Florida.
