He really wasn't a \u003ci\u003e\"Bucky,\" \u003c\/i\u003ebut he definitely was a Freudenberg. He was really a \u003ci\u003e\"Kenneth\" \u003c\/i\u003ebut rare was heard the name \u003ci\u003e\"Kenneth\"\u003c\/i\u003e when referring to Bucky, except when his cowboy father \u003ci\u003epretended\u003c\/i\u003e to be angry with him. Bucky's dad, Dave, never grew fist fighting, irate at Bucky or Bucky's close circle of friends. The worst Dave Freudenberg could manage was \u003ci\u003emiffed\u003c\/i\u003e. When Bucky's dad was \u003ci\u003emiffed, \u003c\/i\u003e he could never use \"\u003ci\u003eKenneth\u003c\/i\u003e\" without making up a string of fake names to attach to \"\u003ci\u003eKenneth\u003c\/i\u003e.\" It was almost as if those added names were Dave Freudenberg's way of counting to ten! \"Kenneth Henry Edward Albert Phinneas Ferdinand Charles,\" or \"Kenneth Marcus Aldo Edmund Michael Brandon Mitchell,\" roared across the prairie with a hint of laughter hidden in a dust devil of consequences. His attempt at hiding a giggle within his disciplinary tone is how we knew Dave Freudenberg was \u003ci\u003emiffed \u003c\/i\u003eand not tobacco-spittin', cowboy hat-sliddin', leg chap-tottin', goat ropin' angry. Bucky was a Freudenberg. Bucky was a friend, and his father couldn't stay angry at him, or us, for long.\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the eyes of his circle of friends and family, the story of how Bucky Freudenberg got his nickname has many different interpretations, thirteen to be exact! Thirteen different points of reference, thirteen sets of friendly eyes and thirteen perspectives while riding a horse. He was Kenneth one minute, and a fall from grace (and a saddle) a few minutes later, and his nickname was born. \u003ci\u003eHow Bucky Fredenberg Got His Name\u003c\/i\u003e is a story about what all humans want-acceptance, equality, respect and the love found in a good nickname.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798286001378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Richard Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097169666303,"sku":"9798286001378","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-bucky-freudenberg-got-his-richard-carpenter-9798286001378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
