Chapter 1
My father was a hard man to know. It seems everyone had a story about him, but i wonder if anyone really knew him. He had so many different personalities, that seldom did he open himself up compleatly to any one person. Rather he gave bits and pieces to each person, and those parts made up the whole. To say the least he was guarded with how close he let anyone get. Very few people know the entire story of ol Bill shearing and the life he lived. ITs a story that begs to be told. and i now knows its my duty to tell the story. I guess i should remind you not all storys have a happy ending, but that doesnt mean its a sad story.
