As a young boy, Dave Crehore moved with his parents from northern
Ohio to the shipbuilding town of Manitowoc on the shores of
Wisconsin s Lake Michigan, where the Germanic inhabitants punctuate
their conversations with enso, the local radio station interrupts
Beethoven for commercials, and the outdoors are a wellspring of
enlightenment. Crehore s stories of his youth in 1950s Wisconsin
are peppered with engaging characters and a quiet wit. A
grouse-hunting expedition goes awry when an eccentric British
businessman bags an escaped bantam rooster with a landing net.
Crehore's great-grandfather gets in trouble one Christmas when he
sneaks a whoopee-cushion under a guest s seat. The elderly Frau
Blau gets trapped in an outhouse by a shady auctioneer during a
farm sale. Through all the adventures and misadventures in a small
town and in the great outdoors of Wisconsin, family is always at
the center. This gently humorous look back at a baby-boomer s
awakening to adulthood will be appreciated by members of any
generation.Honorable Mention, Kingery/Derleth Book Length
