Judging from the dozens of boxes of family photos and mementos that I have in my den, you could say that I'm interested my family's history and genealogy. In fact, I've spent quite literally thousands of hours over the past 20 years researching and documenting the history of my family.
In this section I've posted several stories here about my family. It's mostly for my family members and friends but everyone's welcome here, of course. So far I've posted stories about:
- My Sister Doti: My sister, Doti Leu, passed away in January 2017. She was a wonderful person and I was very close to her. I've posted information about Doti in this section.
- An Everlasting Love - The Story of My Parents: I started writing a biography about my parents, Don and Anne Leu, in the summer of 2018 and it's now up to 240 pages. I'm posting selected excerpts of that biography in this section. I hope you like it!
- LST 612: As I recently learned, my uncle, Harold Conrad, who I never met, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II on a ship called LST 612. I did some research recently and learned a lot about these amazing Navy ships, the most versatile ships in the fleet and during amphibious invasions, probably the most important. This section describes the story of his ship.
I've also posted lots of family stories on my earlier website, www.DelsJourney.com, which describes my travels and adventures from 2001 to 2016.
