Mostly True Stories And Other Lies

The mostly true stories in the first section of this book are reasonably accurate, although in several cases the truth has been rubber-banded. Interspersed are short stories composed entirely of lies. Plus, I've sprinkled in a few poems because poetry slows us down, forcing us to take time to ponder. Pondering seems to be in short supply these days. 


Section 2, "Three to A Hill," is about my uncle Dwight L. McCue because his life story simply had to be told. Uncle Dwight was born in 1903 and lived almost to the 2st century, passing away in 1999. And when I say lived, I really mean it. Uncle Dwight had more gifts than most folks. Everything he did was done with gusto.


Section 3 includes stories, poems, excerpts, and illustrations by a few of my deceased relatives: W. Howard Hamm, Bill Stucker, and Richard L. Ramsell. Perhaps writing runs in families.
