This book contains a large number of stories that were told to me as a young boy growing-up in Tennessee about the many adventures that my father experienced while serving in the United States Navy. Many of these stories cover specific events that my father participated in during the Korean Armed Conflict. The events and opinions contained within the individual stories represent those verbalized by my father. These stories contain rich and colorful language, and they reflect a United States Navy sailor's life during the mid-20th Century. My father, like all good story tellers, molded the events and experiences from his life into his stories to captivate the audience as well as create a larger than life version of what took place. Collectively, these stories provide insight into the thoughts and concerns of the generation of Americans that fought in the Korean Armed Conflict.

Lucy wants to be a champion race horse like her Mother and Father.
To reach this goal, she decides that she must travel to the Belmont
Stakes in Elmont, New York. In preparation for this trip, Lucy
decides to study geography. During her geography class, Lucy learns
that her travels to Elmont, New York, will take her across
Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Lucy
prepares for the trip both mentally and physically by studying her
geography and racing the other colts up and down the fields along
Brush Creek. As Lucy journeys to Elmont, New York, she encounters a
number of different animals -- an owl, a flock of geese, dolphins,
crows, and a covey of quail. Lucy becomes fascinated with the
countryside through which she runs, and she decides that in the
future she must come back to explore the natural beauty found in
these states. Upon reaching the Belmont Stakes, Lucy persuades the
race track owner to allow her to run in the place of a sick horse.
This break was all Lucy needed to set a race record in winning the
Belmont Stakes. After winning this race, Belmont Police inform Lucy
that her parents are searching for her. Lucy tells the police that
she did not intend to frighten her parents, and she quickly returns
home to Tennessee where her victory at the Belmont Stakes is
celebrated.
