Stories about our recent past of the 50’s/60’s, Lemon Ice Box Pie and Journey to Lompoc are two short stories. We hear the account of Smitty, one of the many character’s the author met as a young man while Hoboing around the west. Smitty is now in the sad throes of old age. The other tale tells another true escapade about the young author’s thrifty adventure in an old Packard when old cars were owned by people that loved them for what they were and not what they would like them to be.
