Storytelling from Boyhood and BeyondBy: Jim SlaterStorytelling from Boyhood and Beyond is a collection of stories relating to multiple generations of family: "a first trip from home," "high school graduation," "a letter from home when in Korea," "engagement, marriage, and a lethal pancreatic cancer departure after fifty years." Readers find themselves woven into a time they themselves lived through - or a time they were told about. Some stories invoke a chuckle or laughter - and yes, even tears.About the AuthorJim Slater, the youngest of twelve children, spent the first ten years of life on a small North Dakota farm - the following seventy-five years scripted a record of leaving the farm for town life, an Army tour in Korea, returning to North Dakota, expanding horizons to career positions in Chicago, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, and culminating with retirement in Manassas, Virginia.
