MEMORIES OF MY LIFE OR LOOKING BACK ON THEM!!

FROM 30 MARCH 1953 UNTIL TODAY IN 2023.

They say you should never start a sentence with the letter " I "!! So now I can start writing. I'm a US Army brat as they call us kids. Born on 30. March 1953 in Frankfurt on the river Main, West Germany, Europe, at 8:10 O'clock in the morning.

As I was 6 months old, we moved to the States, on the East Coast. To Connecticut where my dad's older sister and her family lived. My Aunt's name was Edith. I guess that is where I got my middle name from and from my mom's mom whose name was also Edith. My first name I got from my other Grandma Bertha, only I spell my name Berta. My Grandma wanted that she had said this to her son Fritz who was my dad.

We lived on the East Coast until 1958. Somewhere before I was born meaning before 1952, my dad served in the Korean War and was one year long a Prisoner Of War there. The Korean War was between 1950 and 1953. In World War II, my dad was also a Prisoner Of War in Japan one year long. And somewhere between April 1966 and Spring 1968 he also served in the Vietnam War. The same thing also happened here, one year as Prisoner Of War! As he went into retirement in Spring 1968, he was an SP6 E6. Shortly after this, in April 1968 my mom Lucy passed away at age 40. On August 14 of that year, she would have turned 41 years old, R.I.P. Lucy, I will love you forever.

Around fall 1958, I was between 5 ½ and 6 years old, when I got sick. This illness changed all of our lives. At this time my dad was stationed at the Panama Channel Zone. Up to this time I was a " normal girl” who could do anything that other kids could do too: Run, Swim and Jump around, climb Trees and ride a Bike. I could even read and write. I could tell anyone that asked, the exact time it was from the Church clock. Then suddenly 4 other Army kids and I got very sick at the same time. Deadly sick! The illness was something like Polio by much worse because it causes permanent damage of the brain cells. It was Brain Fever!!

I really don't know how long the other kids lived or even if any two of them where even related to
