About this ebook
A collection of enchanting childhood adventures that have been bottled up for fifty years in the memory of the author but are brought to life as he re-experiences these adventures as an adult but through a childs eye. These are adventures and stories that come to life in the mid 1940s through the 1950s in a rural East Tennessee setting.
Spencer R. Hudson
This book is written for the sole purpose of preserving childhood stories and memories that need to be passed on to the generations beyond. Having lived an enchanted and exciting childhood full of adventures in the little town of Ooltewah, Tennessee, these stories are ones that I personally lived and experienced with my siblings and can vividly recall today with clarity. It is these encounters and experiences that have brought me to who I am and where I am today. I retired as an high school English teacher in 1982 and began a second career as an insurance agent and sales representative. After building a very successful business, I recently retired a second time in August of 2009. I was not totally ready to retire, however, so I went back into teaching. This time I am teaching for a half day at Mooreland Heights Elementary School which is located in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am an instructional coach working with small groups of one to six children. I am married to Rebecca Webb Hudson and together we have four wonderful grandchildren, Lauren and Spencer Hudson, children of my son, Joseph Clay Hudson, and Emma and Ayden Giese, children of my daughter, Amanda Kay Hudson-Giese. I am very active in my church, First Baptist of Knoxville, Tennessee. I am on the board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley and have served on this board for fi fteen years. In addition to my writing, I am passionate about serving in a prison ministry called Kairos International.
