About the Book
Everyone has stories to tell. Some people, like me, are foolish enough to try to tell them. This book is my attempt to "talk of many things". It is a mixture of memories of growing up on an Iowa farm in the 50s, characters I've known, things I may (or may not) have done and stories of some of my interesting ancestors. It also includes "Pink Flamingo" the story of an imaginary ride in a DeLorean Automobile through the Iowa town of Adel in the mid-50's. Printed on photo paper with many color photographs.
