The author is from a small town in Ohio. The town becomes noticeable when he was ten years old and still up on the map. He went to a small elementary school, first to eighth grade and then to high school with five other elementary school students as a freshman. He started with his homeroom in the journalist room, which was there until he graduated. He headed in the large university. All kinds of things happened from then and now--car accident, heart attack--and back outside of the same small town, there he started with. Retired from teaching and now working on this book, the author hopes his family, some friends, and past co-workers may enjoy this book.
