The pages of this book began for Frederic Walker, when he was born on March 4, 1953, in Denver, Colorado to his parents, Fred Hudale Walker and Vivian Winton Walker. He was the seventh child born in the family. He was raised surrounded by his brothers, John, Donald, Edward, Clifford, Dwight, William and his sisters, Mertie, Helen, Curley, Cynthia, Denise and Tina. As a child, he was talkative and always explained everything. He was creative and analytical. He liked pretending that he was superman. A fond memory was that of Frederic wanting to see if cats really had nine lives. He repeatedly dropped a cat off the roof, counting each drop but he was stopped by his mother before the ninth drop. Frederic received his formal education in Denver where he graduated from East High School in 1971. On October 11, 1971, he enlisted in the United States Navy.
