About this ebook
The overly bright son of a Denver celebrity grows up amid the paranoia of the Cold War. He doesn't want to be a rocket scientist, but what can he do? From dirt clod wars and sneaking frog eggs under the fence at the Air Force base, a humorous romp through the vagaries and expectations of fifties and sixties America.
Author
Doove Austin
DJ Austin (called Doove as a child) lived eight days in New York City, then moved to North Carolina for a year, but grew up in Colorado, where his parents and family were in show biz. After several years of Not Fulfilling His Potential, the family moved to Hollywood, where he continued Not Fulfilling His Potential. He now lives in North Carolina with a perfect wife and two exceptionally brilliant children.
