This is a very real recall of earlier times- simple virtues such as responsibility, respect for the wisdom of the aged and the value of a "thank you". It recalls childhood at a time before car seats, polluted streams, food preservatives, child snatchers, and the mind numbing effects of video games and TV. This is the generation that preserved freedom here on Earth ( two times in 20+ years) and then came home to send an American to the moon. Simply a treasure of a book.
