What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"To preserve some of the history of that time period (the Depression era of the thirties) in the Michigan area, and of two (2) boys growing into manhood at that time. I have tried to put this into as near a true story as possible and I think that I have and I believe there is a lesson to our young people here in that no matter how hard life was then and now we resorted to good clean fun most of the time. Of course I am also interested in the book selling and believe it has throughout the Middle West area and I trust and hope that persons will enjoy the book and get many laughs out of it."
