My Quest to Rediscover the Man that I really Am.

My name is Dale Harrah, actually it is Kermit Dale Harrah.  No, I'm not named after the puppet, Kermit the Frog, but after my uncle.  My parents wanted to name me after my father, whose name is "Dale"  But my Daddy didn't want me to called "Junior."  So I received the first name "Kermit'.  My family calls me "Little Dale" and my friends call me "Dale".  

I'm one of those people that have the type of memory that is very vivid and detailed.   Not like Marilu Henner.   I don't remember the date or the time of events (unless I record them).   When recalling things I can remember minute details and feelings.   I can remember things as far back as when I was 3 years old.  

One of my biggest fears is that I would someday lose this ability and all that I remember would be gone.  So most of my life I have kept a  journal and have recorded things as they happen or when I recall things that do not have a journal entry. 

I'm at a point in my life where major changes have been forced on me.  This in turn has caused me to dig deeper into who I am, and try to re-discover the man that I really am.  This may mean nothing to anyone but me.  But it's therapeutic for me to share this with anyone that might care to read it.
