    About this ebook

    Somewhere, I read “rooster today, feather duster tomorrow.” I guess I have been a rooster. Now that I am the latter, perhaps I can be useful by dusting off some of the old tales.

    Clifford Leary

    Now going on eighty-nine years of age, the author having been raised on a Wisconsin farm recalls many of the trials and joys of those many years ago. The difficult days of the depression and drought of the 1930’s is indelibly fixed in his mind. The boyhood dreams of leaving the hardship of the farm to a better life materialized when he went to work for a railroad and worked his way up through the ranks to retire as a vice president. Now having been retired many years ago, he enjoys writing on a variety of subjects. Other books by Mr. Leary are: • Grandpa Cliff Remembers • Grandpa Cliff’s Tales • Grandpa Cliff’s Verses • Love, Money and Murder • Mary Ellen Dollar • The French Lady • My Brother Roger • The Runaway
