And I Remember

In the early 1900's, the Wilson family, lived at a time of country unrest and poverty. Love and the help of neighbors and friends were their gifts. Michael and Rita were the Wilson's two children who adored their parents and wanted nothing more than a happy life together. Unfortunately, not everything happens as we wish it. Death, War, misunderstandings, ego and money change lives and people. Mr. Wilson becomes an Insurance Salesman for a few years and the couple live in peace. But peace does not last, and the change is what this story is all about. It spans four generations with all the twists and turns of environment, history, ill happenings, effects of both war and poor communication along with pettiness and misunderstandings. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. S. Marshall Kent retired, having spent 20 years in government employ. This is a novice attempt. A learning curve, if you will. There is no relation to actual persons, Clayton New York is a place of Fiction. The characters and incidents are a product of the author s imagination and are used fictitiously.
