This is an unfolding, entertaining story of an early life of a young boy in the forties, which were WWII war years. Many of the topics were recalled from memories of experience, and some were stories remembered that had been shared by others. They are stories of learning, sometimes the hard way, and reveal much about interacting with others in the rapidly changing life of a child. Most of these shared memories involve family life and relationships. It is vividly revealed that family and church seemed a much larger part of life then than now. You may feel some shared emotions, and depending upon your age, you may even relate to some of the shared experiences as you read. You may see a country of change, especially economically, as many of today's changes are results of America's involvement in WWII. These changes may seem less eventful than current day changes we undergo today, in the twenty-first century, but these changes laid a foundation for many of today's evolving world. Much of this book is presented with subtle humor. It is not presented as a spiritual "Bible study" but personal spiritual relationship has a noticeably underlying presence as you travel the experiences of this life adventure.
