Born in the days of the Great Depression, the Lindberg kidnapping, Amelia Earhart, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt; growing up in the World War II years with rationing, air-raid drills, war bonds and paper drives; graduating from college in the fifties; marrying; raising a family with all of its ups and downs; and retiring following a forty-year teaching career provided a wealth of memories presented in this book as a collection of vignettes and photographs. Using writing as a way of dealing with her husband's Alzheimer's, the author also shares her feelings in free verse as well as prose. A quote from the author: SMACKERS and TOOTSIE TOASTERS are long ago words from childhood. 'Gimme a smacker, ' Daddy would say as he scooped me up in his arms, and I'd plant a kiss on his cheek. Slipping cozy warm bedroom slippers on my feet, Mom called them my 'tootsie toasters'. Precious memories!
