When growing up, I usually came home late from hunting, so I always tried to tell a good story to stay out of trouble. I still do the same thing.

I wrote these stories mainly for my son, Sam, and for family and friends. These stories are a combination of autobiography, family traditions, bygone times, and tall tales.  I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I've enjoyed writing them.

PS: All of my stories are true, or mostly true, or maybe just made up!
