A start at my "Autobiography"
Selected stories by Dick Whitney
A favorite photo of Dad and
I in his "office" at home - ~1954
This web site first was started because I
wanted to share Dad's
Autobiography, and what better way to do it than by the
Internet!
Many have found his stories to be entertaining.
Our family has also treasured these writings and I thought
that someday I would like to do something similar.
Some of the stories have already been written
and posted else wear on this site and are linked below, others
are new to the site and so noted.
I would love to hear from those interested
in any of the stories below, as I am writing them in random
order.
Feel free to e-mail me at dickwhitney@charter.net
