Tabor Home For Children was founded a century ago in Philadelphia but moved to Doylestown, PA in 1913. This remarkable anthology captures the memories and recollections of 50 of those residents spread over six decades. The experience of being raised in a children's home with 40 boys and 40 girls will enlighten, sadden, amuse and surprise most readers. The individual stories are told in a forthright style expressing remorse, gratitude, anger, joy, spirituality and excitement. The book is uplifting and depressing, adventurous and predictable, happy and sad, just like life itself. Orville Wright came to Tabor Home in 1941 and remained there 10 years. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and was a Navy helicopter test pilot for 14 years. He worked in the aerospace industry for IBM and Lockheed Martin, retiring in 2000. Orv is the father of four children and lives with his second wife Carolyn in Owego, NY. He is past president of the Owego Rotary Club, prepares taxes for senior citizens and teaches job interviewing skills and resume' writing classes to foster children under the auspices of Tabor Children's Services Inc.
