Mayfield, Kentucky was a lot like thousands of other small American towns in the 1950s and '60s. But to the people who grew up there during that time, it was -- and is -- a special place. Mark Huffman spins yarns from his childhood that paint a poignant picture of what this town, and indeed America was like when the Baby Boomers were growing up. It had a court square packed with thriving businesses, factories that provided jobs, and friendships that have lasted a lifetime. The book is made up of a series of 19 essays, in mostly chronological order, that begin with Huffman's arrival in Mayfield in 1954 as a three year-old and ends with his departure for college. They include accounts of Mayfield's minor league baseball team, the Clothiers, stories about leading citizens of the era, and a candid assessment of Huffman's somewhat painful entry into broadcasting, at WNGO, including an ill-fated live interview with country music star Loretta Lynn.Growing Up Mayfield is a collection of charming tales that take readers on a journey back in time.
