"I'VE BEEN A HAPPY wanderer all my life and if Mom took her eyes off me for even a moment, I was out of there. Even potty training posed a challenge. Who has time for that? If I faced a "big load," I just shook it out one pant leg and kept going. I was just coming on two years of age when she started tethering me to the clothesline. I learned quickly how to slip out of my little overalls and take off..." You'll laugh and you'll cry as T.D.Roth shares the stories of his father's childhood and coming of age. It's tales of horses and dogs, cats and frogs. And of course, there's girls and cars, travel and bars. Journey with Gary as a child of the 1930s and a young teen of the 1940s. You'll meet his dog, Andy, and a little mustang named Midge. Join him on a flat car taking a "joy" ride from eastern Oregon to California. Experience the delight of a fifteen-year-old joining the Navy, only to be given a ticket home after five weeks of boot camp. At age seventeen, Gary marries Betty Allen, a little fourteen-year-old from Texas and the stories continue. Set in the context of a different America at a different time, you'll share the joys and the hard lessons of a young man with a life-long love of life and adventure.
