About the Author

I was born at Duke Hospital Nov 17/1943. I was raised on a farm in Louisburg NC. I set around the bond fire & listened to tall tales told by the old men from the neighborhood. I later wrote them down. This is not one of them. The First Christmas Tree I made up back in 1962 for a Sunday school Class for the Nursery in New River Baptist Church in Jacksonville NC. Each Time I told the story everyone said it should be a book. Now I have the time this is my first book. I did twelve years in school with no help, I did five years in the army as a rifleman, I have nine Diplomas most in Engineering. I Enjoyed writing this book, I hope you enjoy reading it to your family.
