This book is not designed to make you feel that you haven't lived if you haven't conversed in "Pig-Latin", jumped hots, or shot marbles, but to share with you some of the experiences and emotions of what some might call "the good ole days".For some of my characters herein I have borrowed new names, for the sake of privacy, as well as to protect the guilty. I feel reasonably sure that my family and friends will recognize themselves, even though I have told them as I saw them through my eyes.I apologize for Papa's foul language but I would be hard put to depict his character without it.
