I was born Catholic,  an altar boy and endured the rather doctrinal teaching by the nuns. As time passed, military service, college and the entry into an emerging career my active involvement in the church waned and I no longer am an active member of any congregation . That said I still remained less connected to Catholicism, more as an observer. However, the smell of incense and the recitation Latin return me to those earlier days. While traipsing through years of my work, marriage for sixty-four years to the most wonderful woman, recently deceased, three equally sterling children, because my career involving thousands of people, staff members and professional and casual acquaintances I began  a personal series of inquiries in hopefully a  unsuspected manner. Remarkably those talked with were always interested enough to provide brief approaches to their particular religion or disdain thereof. This book became an interest since my retirement years ago as I well remember my own undisclosed journey. To me it became the basis for the use of some of that personal journey. I was particularly interested in their personal church attachment and without direct questioning, the influence of their religious adherence especially concerning their views of the then current political and social scene.
