n the January day I was born in 1942, two ships

were sunk and thirteen people drowned in a frigid
Oocean as part of the most horrific war in all recorded

history. Hundreds of German U-boats were busy torpedo-

ing merchant ship convoys along the Eastern seaboard. My

birth certificate notes that, at 5:20 AM, I was already the
seventy-fourth baby born at that hospital that day.

None of the ugly implications of what was happening in the world
concerned me in the least. At long last, I had air to breathe and a warm
nurturing breast to suckle. By all appearances, I was a healthy child.
