Gene remembers growing up in rural America on a small farm. He'll share with you the time a couple of men stopped by his farm looking for work (those \"men\" turned out to be Bonnie and Clyde.) Or listen to him tell you about riding double bareback with his brother on their pony to the one room schoolhouse for daily lessons.

There was no greater purpose to these scraps of paper than to record what he could for his grandchildren's sakes.

But for Gene, it was life - he knew nothing different. He didn't complain, in fact, he was happy. Gene's story is his own, but his perspective provides a window into the broader expanse of home and small-town life for many Americans during this time period (1926-1970.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea history buff, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewriting a paper for that class assignment on American life, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewould like to reminisce, or \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eperhaps you had a family member who had a similar upbringing and want another's perspective, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGene's short stories are sure to entertain and inform you.
