When fifteen-year-old Mathew Dale Mitchell sees his first airplane
in 1910 in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois, he is hooked.
When he is old enough, he joins the US Air Corps and, as a first
lieutenant, begins flying as a fighter pilot in World War I. On a
mission over German lines, Mitchell doesn't return to base in
Cerlot, France. Inexplicably, he lands in Pawtucket, Delaware, in
the year 2000. Here, he discovers important information about what
happened to his family while he served in the war. He has an
eighty-two-year-old son and two forty-something grandchildren. He
decides not to meet them, and he returns to Cerlot to continue his
role as a fighter pilot. As it turns out, however, Mathew's son,
Fred, follows in his father's footsteps in more ways than one. He
joins the army and serves in World War II, seeing action in North
Africa. And he too has time travel experiences-some of which hold
some unusual surprises.

At twelve o-clock AM on May 15th of each year in the Highlands of
ole Scotland a wee place called Auralee appears from the mist of
time. No mention of this place appears on any map or
record....except for a brief notation in the journal of a small
church in the village of Penoaken. The record accounts that in the
year of our Lord, 1754, a place called Auralee had disappeared
without any trace. Come along with the author on his incredible
journey where he finds much more than he had ever anticipated.
One of the most popular Cubs of all time--and now an executive
advisor for the team--Williams reminisces about his early years,
his Hall of Fame career, and his five decades in the game in this
inspirational autobiography. In "Billy Williams: My Sweet-Swinging
Lifetime with the Cubs," he remembers the sturdy values and
selfless devotion of the people from Whistler who helped shape his
character; people like Lilly Dixon, his grade school principal, and
Virgil Rhodes, his high school coach, both of whom he remembered in
his Hall of Fame induction speech, and also his father who lived
long enough to see his son play in the big leagues.
