    About this ebook

    Humorous short stories detailing what it was like to grow up in smalltown Idaho during the 1960’s. As a small town farmboy I never could have imagined one day traveling the world to safely dispose of obsolete munitions. My work took me from little Aberdeen, to the Big Apple, to Red Square, to the Berlin Wall, to Ukraine countryside, to all 50 states in the USA, and more places than I can list.
