Jim Greene Jr's Journey

I was born in New Jersey, in a little city called Burlington. In fact, I was not born in a hospital but in my grandmother's house on St. Mary's Street.

I was born in New Jersey, in a little city called Burlington. In fact, I was not born in a hospital but in my grandmother's house on St. Mary's Street. Back then many babies were born with family around with sheets, water, etc., Transportation to a hospital was not a first priority, most people had large families and no cars. It was not unusual for a doctor to make home deliveries day or night. My mother was visiting her family, after all there were always three or four girls at home supporting. My grandmother, (who had raised 18 of her own children and 13 were girls) my mother was the number six girl. We lived on Green Street, just around the corner from grandma's house.I learned so much early in life just trying to be like my dad. My dad to me, could do anything.Growing up to me was a very slow process, because my dad would make sure we did not hurry through life, but at the same time learn well and remember our place, learning under his rules. This was great for me because my dad wanted to make sure we heard him well and have fun in everything. He really made sure I was a good and complete child. He reminded me that I should always be ready to teach my brothers and sisters the right way to do things, no shortcuts at all. If it required a team effort, I should and would know it way ahead of time.Jim Greene, Jr's Journey or 101 than I'm done. Volume 3 is about Home & Honoring Parents.
