This is a book of stories I have lived and collected growing up in a small town.By their nature, stories are designed to entertain and enthrall. Stories fulfill us, identify us and define us. Few things are more enjoyable than a good story well told. Blessed is the listener who inherits the story. Stories are rooted in small towns. Small towns are made up of great characters that are easy to recognize and impossible to forget. Characters are the fuel for the engine of storytelling. Large towns and cities may have their share of great characters too, but far too often they seem to just blend into the crowd. When you live in a sea of people, it is easy to see past people.The requirements needed to classify a small-town character can be hard to define, yet one is instantly identified. Sometimes it's an accent, sometimes it's a look, sometimes it's how they dress or how they walk. Mostly it is feeling.Small town characters of story are enjoyed and celebrated. The greatest become legends who live on long after they have passed on. Characters become legends when their stories are told and retold. Blessed is the storyteller who celebrates the character.
