Memories mostly good ones. Characters and situations from my years growing up. I was born and I lived on a small farm just outside New York Mills, Minnesota until I was eight.
Because of bad soil, the farm didn't produce crops enough to support our family. My father took a job with US Steel
and we moved to Ely which is on the edge of the Wilderness Refuge Boundary Waters, I lived there until I ran away at the
age of fifteen. I loved the wilderness but I didn't care for
the people in Ely. However that isn't why I left. Now I wish
I could go back to my beloved wilderness.
