A look back at my memories of growing up in a small lumber town in Northern California during the 1950s and 60s.
I’ve listened to these stories for years, but they’re so much funnier to read. Michael entertains with true tales of growing up in a small forested Northern California logging town in the days before Free Range Kids were an anomaly and when “Go out and play, and don’t come back until it’s dark” prevailed as a parents’ daily cry. Cowboys (and horses), snow, ice, waterways, and the woods feature prominently along with chuckles and guffaws. Really.
