Presented on these pages is the
transcription of Gay Spiker's personal diary. For best
comprehension, readers are strongly encouraged to follow the contents
IN ORDER as they are presented below. To begin, simply click on
the underlined page titled "Introduction".
Like turning the pages of a book, links directing you to each subsequent
(and previous) page may be found at the bottom of your screen.
Consider it may take a long while to read
the journal (and our interpretive notes) from cover to cover. You
may want to "bookmark" the page where you leave off so that you can easily
return at a later date.
Welcome to the view through Gay Spiker's
window.
