if Only i by Ollie
"if Only I" by Ollie is a journey through my life starting from 4 years old, at Black Foxe Military Institute, Hollywood. California. Most Substack posts begin with the lessons I wish I had learned from each and every experience, especially in my formative years. My hope is that you find my stories enlightening, engaging, humorous, and heartfelt.
I was born and raised in Sunny, Southern California, and I'm sure many of you readers would consider me a spoiled brat from my stories so far! I certainly never felt spoiled.
I am privileged to have grown up on a cliff overlooking the ocean with a nanny, butler, cook, swimming pool, tennis court, and private plane. Spoiled, not so much!
I went to Military School from age four for three years, private day school for a year, and a second Military school at age eight. Next, I went to a private boarding school with only nine boarders from age nine to twelve, and later, to a public school with over 2000 students.
As a very young boy, I did indeed enjoy privileges that few children ever experience. I just didn't understand how privileged I was, and from 10th grade on, it was a downward slippery slope!
Each week, more ancestors written about in blogs, newsletters, and other forms of digital media will be added to The Ancestor Digest, a curated gallery of articles and posts about specific ancestors. Each new entry during the week will be noted here in this section.
