Story by Steve Little, author of children s stories and railroad
histories. Illustrations by Lydia Orange, college freshman and
first-time illustrator. What s it like in the twenty-first century
to live in a Central American village so small and remote that it
doesn t even appear on many maps? What s it like for a family of
seven to live in a small two-room house with no electricity, no
inside running water, and no glass windows? A visitor on a mission
team from North Carolina spoke with a girl in La Gracia, Belize on
her 11th birthday. Read her amazing, powerful, and inspiring words.
You will look at your own life and conditions in a different way.
You may even want to do more than you ever thought about before.
Young Eddie Wilson was a footballer on the threshold of a
professional career with a prominent club. Then came the Great War
of 1914-1918. Once called up into the Army he was sent without
completing his training into the frontline in Belgium. There he was
subjected to the horrors of trench warfare at Passchendaele. Within
a very short space of time nearly all the friends and comrades that
he had gone to the Front with had either been killed or injured.
Dazed and confused he wandered away from the action having had a
breakdown. Eventually a young, attractive French widow took him
into her home. She nursed him back to health over the next year or
so until he was captured in Calais by a Military Policeman, Frank
Shipley. The two men travelled back to Belgium for the Court
Martial and during this eventful journey they formed a friendship
that was to have a great significance more than 75 years later.
Many of Eddie's friends and supporters thought him more hero than
coward. The outcome of his Court Martial was to depend on crucial
evidence relating to his state of mind and, more importantly,
likely confirmation of his previous heroism awaited from England.
The story deals with the highly emotive aspect of the ordeal of the
ordinary soldier and the wanton waste of young lives together with
the effects of the harsh discipline of the Army.
All seven episodes of the second series of the HBO sitcom
executive-produced by Will Ferrell. Once a Major League baseball
player, Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) used to have it all: fame,
endorsements and a lucrative contract. Now, since hard living took
its toll on his game, Kenny finds himself struggling to resurrect
his career. In this series, Kenny makes his way to Mexico to see if
he can become a star over there. Along the way he meets baseball
team owner Sebastian Cisneros (Michael Peņa) and a new love
interest, Vida (Ana de la Reguera).
The 60s saw great change from the latter stages of the austere
post-war years, through the years of "you've never had it so good"
to pop music, long hair and free love. National Service went, the
death penalty went, Man went to the moon, the birth pill arrived to
liberate women and much, much more...Throughout all this, the post
war baby boomers flourished into teenagers and were to enjoy this
changing world. Despite these changes some things stayed the same.
School discipline was as rigid as ever - school uniforms remained
as ornate as before - parents never had much money - not many
families had a car - some had no TV. Teenagers then as now had to
cope with the various aspects of puberty, getting to know the
opposite sex (always an embarrassing prelude to adulthood!), sit
examinations at least twice a year and then decide whether to go on
to further education or get a job? They had to walk or cycle
everywhere, rarely left the country and had no money but through
all of this there were friendships formed that have lasted a
lifetime. The eleven year olds of 1960 are now in their dotage but
when they went off to secondary school in 1960 little did they know
what fun they would have and it certainly was, for most at least,
the time of their lives. When they meet now stories are swapped and
re-told and seem funny to this day. There were disappointments and
even tragedies along the way but it was a defining time for all. In
"Days We'll Remember All Our Lives" these stories have been brought
together to show the often hilarious escapades of a group of baby
boomers through their teenage years both in and out of school.
