Key Dates and transition timeline

When you live a life such as mine, there are many dates that start to pile up. First time did this, did that, etc. So many, that over time, you actually start to forget about them. Still, some of these become anniversaries of sorts, that you start to celebrate and others fade into history…

Many early dates were not documented for historical purposes, simply because they were not recognized for their importance at the time. It was just part of my life. I list them here because they affected me significantly and you wouldn’t get the entire picture without them.
