David C. McLavic - Prologue. Prologue

My name is David C. McLavic and this is my story.

I was born at the medical facilities of North West University. My father is the head of the archeology department and my mother is the Head Nurse at the University’s medical facilities. I have an older sister and a younger sister.

My father was an Associate Professor of Archeology at Pennsylvania State University where he met my mother who was studying to be a nurse. They dated and when Dad was offered the position at North West they got married.

Dad grew up in Philadelphia. Grandfather was a successful lawyer and Grandmother was a socialite. That is what Dad called her. I never met my dad’s parents or my mother’s. Mom told me she grew up on a farm.

Besides Mom and Dad, Dad had a friend who was an Indian, I called him Uncle Joe. It seemed he was always in my life and according to Dad, he cared for my sisters and me when Mom and Dad were at work.

My older sister was five when I was born. I think that was when she discovered boys are different than girls. Three years after I was born, Mom had another girl. Dad, according to Uncle Joe, said three children were enough. Uncle Joe said because he got his son they wouldn’t have any more children. But Mom disagreed and Dad wanted another son. Mom had another girl, my younger sister. I think Mom wanted more children, But Dad said three was enough.
