Memories of a Gemini (ePub)

Malcolm K. Drumheller, "Mac", was born the second of twin boys on June 9, 1940 in the small soapstone mining town of Schuyler, Nelson County, Virginia. The twins, plus a younger brother, made the woods, fields, hills, valleys, quarries, and streams their second home. Many of our collective experiences are reflected in the poems, and stories lines presented in this book.

We were privileged to have grown up in a time when boys were free to roam without the fear of bad people doing us harm. Our parents, however, insisted on knowing where we were going and with whom we’d be playing and most of the time we'd be playing at a cousin's home. In the summer in particularly, if dark caught us at a cousin's home, that's where we'd spend the night. Even without telephones, no one worried about our safety. How times have changed.

Mac has been happily married to his childhood sweetheart, Phyllis, for almost a half century. We have three children: two girls and a boy; plus, five grandchildren. The old saying, "If we'd known that grandchildren would be so much fun, we'd had them first", really does ring true. As a coach, teacher and an elementary school principal, Mac spent forty one years working with children in his home county of Nelson. This has been a wonderful experience. It is my hope that you'll enjoy these lines and that that you will find something that speaks directly to your heart.

So, read and enjoy!
