Seven-year-old Paul strolled through the orchard, sampling the antique apples that surrounded the abandoned farm house. He wondered how long he would live in this place. After all, he had already resided in more places than a kid his age should have, and would end up attending twenty schools in nearly as many locations. Paul's experiences while growing up in the Pacific Northwest include adventure, humor and a portrayal of how life was, "back then." Our SeaTac International Airport was a forest where kids watched bulldozers clear runways. Well traveled hills that now lead to freeways are the ones where Paul sped his soapbox racers. And because of his family's nomadic lifestyle; he watched his dad build their tiny home of whatever their patch of forest provided, lived in a 4,000 trailer house community at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, spent time at the infamous Briscoe Boys School and lived in a house built by the kindly brother-in-law of Dinah Shore . Readers are guaranteed to enjoy this sometimes poignant, sometimes sad, sometimes humorous but always intriguing account of the adventurous life lived "When Grandpa Was a Kid."
