Of Course It’s True [Except for a Couple of Lies]
This book is a collection of stories on family, life and values. It begins with a story of the author's namesake, who came to California in 1849, in pursuit of happiness. The middle section is about a range of events in life. The final section is about beliefs - which helped guide the author's actions. The chapters tell individual stories but when read as a whole you will recognize a life full of experiences - some important, some not so much; but all comfortably wrapped in humor. Eclectic? You bet. Boring, no. The author recognizes that some people who participated in the events described in the book will remember things differently. That's OK with him. Memoirs are perceptions and not necessarily precise. The author asks readers who want 100% accuracy to write their own book.

The Diary of Florentine Schlimgen
Florentine Bowar Schlimgen was born and raised on a farm in southeast-central South Dakota. She was the first of 8 children born to her second-generation German-immigrant parents and lived in a farming community for most of her life, only 7 miles from where she was born. She was 15 years old when the great depression hit, and a young wife and mother during some of South Dakota's most difficult economic times. These events, along with her deep Roman catholic faith, surely shaped her values and priorities. Florentine started keeping a diary in 1968, when she was a busy mother of 4 children, 3 of whom were still living at home. In this diary she chronicled her daily activities, along with births, marriages, deaths, and celebrations of her family and friends. In later years, as her household became an empty nest, she also captured her inner thoughts, feelings, joys, frustrations, and aspirations. She kept up her diary regularly until 2004, when, at age 90, her health began to fail her. Diary entries were made on an inconsistent basis until 2008. This amounts to 40 years of family and community history, recorded in 28 notebooks, many of which measure 3 x 5 inches.
