Born in the midst of the Great Depression in Neenah, Wisconsin, V.W. Thomack has lived an adventurous life.

Born in the midst of the Great Depression in Neenah, Wisconsin, V.W. Thomack has lived an adventurous life. In this memoir, he recalls boyhood memories, including: ¿ Each spring, his dad would have his kids line up for his magical elixir: sulfur and molasses to purify their blood. ¿ Knickers and knee socks were popular attire for young boys. The elastic in the knickers would wear out, as would the elastic in the knee socks, so both would fall down. The author would pull the socks and knickers up and hold them in place with a rubber band. ¿ When the collars of his shirts wore out, his mother would take them off and reverse them, so the shirts were like new again. The author also recalls events throughout his life, including falling in love, getting married, and then the tragic loss of his wife to Alzheimer's disease-as well as the sudden loss of great friends. Along the way, he incorporates history, humor, trivia, and, shocking punch lines. It's all part of celebrating his home runs and lamenting the times he could not get his bat off his shoulder to deliver hits.
