Inhaltsangabe

If you ever lived in a small town, or wished you had, or wondered what life there was like, join the author as he revisits Rushville, IL, his hometown. The time is the decade of the 1940s, a period now remembered as a simpler, more relaxed era. It was a time of front porch sitting, door locks for which keys have long been misplaced, innocent romances beginning with subtle glances, Saturday matinees, near-noiseless lawn mowers and strict parental and classroom discipline.But the author looks beyond the seeming tranquility and feels the town's push toward change--progress away from the deprivation of the Great Depression years, through days of World War II fears, and on to the excitement and fulfillment of dreams of better lives to come.A reader will experience humor, nostalgia, history and insight into another time--yet the ageless innocence and uncertainty of youth will be recognized and remembered by people of all decades. The author invites you to recall a period of innocence in your life as you experience his.
