Some folks will often ask Tom what his columns in that Wisconsin
newspaper are all about. He will answer, "Do you mean the one in
the Fennimore Times, called Fennimore...As I remember?..".As though
there were any other. Then he will respond:
"Oh, I write about a special place, friends and neighbors, happy
times... what ever. Like swimming pools and pool halls, town
constables and chiefs. City parks, paper routes, pastors, parsons
and priests.
"I won't forget town and country schools and dedicated teachers
there within. With tales of playground hi-jinks...all to make you
grin.
"The old places called a Blacksmith Shop, Gus shoeing horses at
the open door. Fred Doan the Harness maker, Bill Buri, Wagon
builder...these craftsmen are no more.
"The Fenway Theater packed with kids, admission one thin dime. A
Friday double feature ...Roy, Gene and Hopalong, cowboys for all
time.
"There are neighborhoods and life long friends, creameries making
cheese. Sparky's Saturday night dances, 'May I have this
waltz...Please?'
"I claim my stories are but true, as best I can remember. And many
do agree, but others shout... 'Not in April, t'was in November
'
"Best of all, even strangers come to me and say, 'I know this
place and the stories that you tell. Just change the names, for
then you'll see...Fennimore's my hometown as well.'
