FROM THE INTRODUCTION: History, gathered and posed by one who researches ancient records, can be an arid, tedious affair... replete with dry-bone forebears, a flooding of dates, and places with names that have no color, nor vision, nor canticle. History recorded in time to be penned by one who has seen and sensed and lived it...long abides as a song of life...exactly as it was, vibrant images sketched and hued in the printed, graphic word. These fourteen short stories are of such..., living vignettes of the early years of America's newest Riviera, Northwest Florida's magnificent Emerald Coast. Twelve of the tales are directly of the Emerald Coast itself. Two of them touch it only obliquely. "In The Tears of An Old Man," is of the time when the author was returning home, after an absence of only five out of more than fifty years. "The Last Casualty of World War II" is a story of the United States Air Force, so splendidly a portion of the Emerald Coast, and it's history. A saga recorded in such venue surely cannot cover the broad span of an age. Yet, it may paint in vivid timbre a man or woman or place or event shaping that era. I hope, to some extent, I have done so.
