Anyone who's ever spent any time on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, knows what a distinctive place it is -- rural, yet accessible; family-centered; steeped in the values that have made America. Uniquely personal, yet universal in its appeal, Up-Lot Reveries captures the flavor and color of this country as few books ever have.
Fascinating, energetic, and funny, these folks who tell their stories bring history to life and lend color and emotion to that history becasue they are and have been participants in it. How it used to be - and how it is - these are the subjects of conversations with Eva Woodward, the raspberry lady; Ella Wells, matriarch of the historically prominent Wells family; Dr. Vincent Doroszka, physician to many generations; and Ralph Tuthill, Justice of the Peace. Twenty-one frank and forthright sages share their reminiscences, their philosophies, and their hopes for the future.
