Memoirs are for remembrance.
In my time as a journalist I have met many what we call great men-at least celebrated men. And whom I was terribly fond of, for the most part, and thought deserved to be known. It grew out of a number of things that had been happening in my life, perhaps starting at birth. As a writer I was blessed from the cradle, because I had the good fortune to be born into two very large, some people would say immense, families. The sort they don't make anymore.
