HATS . . . . takes you on a delightful journey into the minds of young baby boomers in early to late childhood-what their world was like nearly three quarters of a century ago, how they wrestled with it, and what values they embraced. With a mixture of humor, warmth, nostalgia, and a dash of painful honesty, Hats offers a collection of provocative and entertaining small-town America coming-of-age stories that center on the eternal ideas of truth, honesty, and compassion. These are stories of a time gone by, stories from what some see as the American golden age, but most of all, stories that resonate today because they are about what people of all eras and ages face-the lifelong challenge of being a person of integrity.
Minor typos, but that doesn't prevent the writing from being wonderful. Memoirs of a few incidents of a baby boomer from the mid-50s to the mid-60s. I've known the author personally for quite some time, and this explains many facets of his personality.
