About the Author
Shirley Dicks

I was born and raised in Concord, New Hampshire and moved south because of my fathers health.  I'm the oldest of five kids, one sister and three brothers. We have a lot of fun when we get together, most of us play guitar and sing
and we all have a good sense of humor. 

 

      David, Roger, Mike
Shirley & Brenda

These are my three brothers and one sister.  Roger rides a Harley, he's the youngest of us, only a year older than my oldest son, Jeff.  David is the one brother that still 
lives in New Hampshire.  I wish I still did as it's so hot in Tennessee, but guess I'm too old now to try and begin again.
