1948, age 6, 7, and nearly eight. Little boys growing, growing, growing and another older/young man who has an unexpected profound influence on them all. Little boys becoming big boys then men at perhaps the most tender and charming time in their lives. Learning lessons about life, inventing, and building to go forward with courage, purpose, and honor. These are ways that admirable men become admirable. Their adventures are funny and yet looking further, they are profound and after the years of innocence have faded, have much to say about the behavior of us later in life. Little boys are charmers in these early years, the values they will live with are developed in just these short early times. How they will act, behave, lead, or follow in large part comes early. In many ways little boys, in their hearts, are always little boys and some better for it. This book will make you smile, laugh, surely remind, and stir emotions. Tears for the poignant, the joy and tenderness of youth. Making you wonder how, when we grew older, it is that we have become who we are. This is a story of sweet remembrance.
