And so It Begins

And So It Begins, by Wayne Fuller, brings to reality the feelings of a man that was forced into retirement by a company rule. Carl Richard Wilson, who was a success in his own right, was forced into retirement under the Mandatory Retirement at Age Seventy Rule his company had established.

He then tried to surmise what had been his purpose in life and began thinking about what he had accomplished and what was left to be done. He read a poem from a book his daughter had given him for a fiftieth wedding anniversary gift. The poem he read was RETURN and he began thinking about a much earlier time in his life. Now he was recalling the happy times spent on a farm in Mississippi with his aunt, uncle, and cousins during the summer and winter of 1931 when he was five years old. Their teachings that he had learned remained etched in his memory and were used throughout his life. He and his five year old cousin Jess were inseparable and built a friendship that lasted a lifetime. Enjoy browsing around the farm and sharing the simplicity of life then as seen through the eyes of two innocent, but curious five year olds.
