This is the title of a second book that serves as a prelude to “Close to the Listener.” It covers the first 21 years of my life prior to leaving for Laos in January 1969.
It is primarily intended for my family – children, grandchildren, cousins – but all are invited to read it.
“On the Shoulders of the Past” is dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, Francis George Gray, who was killed in battle in France, leaving behind a widow and four small children of whom my father was the youngest.The (book is available on Amazon both as Kindle e-book (ASIN: B07FZ1BWLB) and as paperback (ASIN: 1999601033)
