Easier to divide into Parts, recognizing each Part would likely have multiple chapters--some more than others:
I: Home On The Range (Starting out life with no indoor plumbing, no electricity on the Homefront in WWII)
II: Home Schooled (Bedridden in rural isolation with no peer contact)
III: Back In The Saddle Again (Return to Elementary School, immersion into peers at onset of puberty)
IV: Howdy, Stranger (Uprooted after 2 days of high school, moved to new high school with the inner clique of all time)
V: These Boots Were Made For Walking (Finding independence at college, living in a co-operative)
VI: Calvary Bugle Call (my military career as a draftee during the Vietnam Era)
VII: Howdy, Podner (Discovering my soul mate had been a friend for 15 years, instant family as her 5 year old comes with her, starting a new career, 43 years of raising family, building community)
VIII: Re-Boot (Re-locating for wife's mobility issues, losing her to cancer, helping raise grandkids, finding a new partner for 10 years until her death as well.)
IX: Whittlin' On The Back Porch (Finding solace in two cats and volunteer work)
