The County seat of Franklin was about thirty miles of crooked and mountainous dirt road. The author started schooling in a little three room school house with approximately seventy students and three teachers. He walked to school about three miles each way.
Early in his high school years he decided on writing fiction books at sometime in life. However this didn’t materialize. He married shortly after graduating high school and moved to Atlanta, where he found work.
In 1966 he got employment at the Magnavox plant in Andrew. Soon Baker furniture took over the operation and started making furniture. This was a very interesting work and soon an opening came up in engineering that the author was given a try out and passed the test; he worked on this job until retirement, enjoying every day.
It was later in his retired years that the memories of those early childhood years of roaming the hills and all the games, escapades, and adventures that he and his friends had in those days began to press on him. These stories just had to be told.view less
