The journal describes what it was like to grow up in the 30s and 40's, knowing you were
different from your peers, but having no-one to turn to. It also passes through a 14 year
career in the Canadian Army; A 22 year straight marriage; The raising of 4 children and
earning the love and respect of 8 grandchildren; Coming out to my family; And how all these
events lead up to my current 20 year relationship with Ron, the best partner, lover and friend

and antidotes on gay life and the many travels and vacations taken with Ron.
