About
The child of a small town in Midwest
America tells of growing up in
Rockbridge in the 1930s. Anecdotes
recount childhood exploration, adventures,
mishaps, and rebellion with friends,
neighbors, and family. My piano teacher lives
across the alley while down the alley Betty
Jean had a partially opened pack of Lucky
Strike and we proceeded to light up. Winter
brings skating on creeks and sledding until
the orange ball of the sun slipped behind the
cold watery sky. Alongside these tales are
refl ections by the child, revealing and honest.
They contrast attitudes of the 1930s with
childhood perception.
