"I'm a Dreamer, Aren't We All?": the True Life Stories of a Few Not So Ordinary American People Including: the 104th Battalion of the Seabees Dianna Popp

This is a true story about a few not so ordinary American people born of and/or married into the Roler, Campbell and Popp family lines. Stigmas, Sagas and Curses have been strongly attached to the family line of Roler. Along the way, there have been various issues related to different types of personalities, to the Order of the Free Masons, and to the effects and impact of living with Alzheimer Disease. It begins in New York and then takes you to California in the late 1930's. It continues going back in time to the State of Georgia, followed by the city of Columbia, in Tennessee in the mid 1800's. Then we continue on to the turn of the century, coming into a vast span of time through the 1900's. World War I, immigrating to the United States from Germany, life in New York and then in Ohio. One chapter is about the 104th Battalion of the Seabees. It tells and shows a glimpse of what actually was accomplished during the years of 1943-1945, World War II, in New Guinea, the Admiralty Islands and the Philippines. The story then continues through the next sixty or so years, up to the present. I would like to refer to my writing this book as it being a sort of Kaleidoscope/collage of people, places and times. The symbol of the Bee does not just represent the Seabees. Remember that the honey from the bee is sweet, but that the bee also stings, so watch out! Enjoy this true-to-life story, it is much to Buzz about!
