Description
Foreword: 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.
