Description

Newly revised and updated, this Second Edition has first-hand stories, memories, and vignettes of the author's childhood in Alaska, from his age four, in 1946, until his high school graduation at age eighteen, in 1960. These very personal, yet entertaining, stories show the uniqueness of his young life, but also the similarities with other youth of his time. You'll read of flying adventures in Piper Cubs, fishing on the Turnagain Arm, visiting the Kilcher family on the Kenai Peninsula and building a log house on the Chena Ridge in Fairbanks. His high school dating and musical recollections are both humorous and sad. He lived as a youngster at the Jesse Lee Home in Seward while his parents were boys' dorm houseparents. The author offers to the readers not just memorable events, but his perspective on those events, giving us pause, at times. The narrative is complemented by numerous photos from the author's own collection. If you have fond memories from your childhood, you'll easily relate to those this author shares.
