Description

This is Book 1 in the Series.

There is an old African proverb that states: "When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground."

This memoir is a glimpse into Heather and my library (1971 – 1990). I have authored Heather's memories that she has told me through the years, as to not confuse the reader …and provide a consistent flow.

This book was written way after the fact and so these memories very distant and aren't nearly as vivid as the later memoirs. If I could go back in time, I would have been better at journaling early on as a kid – but, hey what kid does that!

The primary purpose for these books is to serve as 'memory back-ups' for many funny stories and memories that we really don't want to forget. Our future …old …decrepit self's' is the targeted audience. I'm sure when we are old, we will appreciate this little time capsule.

The secondary purpose is to provide something that can be handed down to our children - it is a sort of DNA time-machine for them.

This initial 2-decade memoir probably isn't all that unique from other 80's middle-American childhood experiences. Hopefully, this read can ignite memories from your own childhood.

Please continue reading the other memoirs after this one, because I really think the other books contain way more interesting content.
