SynopsisBread Pudding and Other Memories: A Boyhood on the Farm takes the author back to his childhood on a small dairy farm in southwestern Wisconsinand the life he lived growing up in the 1940s and 50s'a way of life thathas largely disappeared from the American scene. His memories are rich and varied: of the farm, including the barns that served many purposes, frommilking cows to playing baseball in partnership with a tall barn wall, andthe large white farmhouse with the treasure trove of its ?far room?; of hisone-room school with thirteen students, spelling bees, dual outhouses, andChristmas pageants; of parents and siblings, each unique and appealing, shorton money but long on love and hard work; of the special places that made uphis small hometown; of favorite television shows, prized toys, a fascinationwith professional wrestling, early encounters with confession and church missions, a first love (albeit through the television screen), dogs and trees thatfilled the roles of playmates, and many other moments of the author's earlyrural life. It is a world worth keeping alive, if only in memories and on thepages of a book.
