"God's Country," is the best way to describe Inverness, during the
'60s. If was a safe place filled with wonder and natural beauty.
While reading Inverness; The Barefoot Years, take a break and close
your eyes. See if you can remember chasing lightning bugs at dusk
or the smell after a spring rain. Can you still hear the whistle of
the midnight train or remember running barefoot on the school play
ground. I hope this book brings you a flood of great childhood
memories. If I had one wish it would be to turn back the hands of
time so our children or grandchildren could live as we did, a
carefree, innocent childhood.
