Stories, reflections, and experiences of a happy childhood and happy adolescence of a boy being raised by the greatest generation in a "picture postcard" village in Southern Vermont during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. The author has the added growing-up elements of a very, very Roman Catholic Mother and a strict Catholic school education plus a huge extended family to include sixteen pairs of Aunts and Uncles and literally hundreds of first Cousins in a village where everybody knew everybody.
