My last post completes something I've intended to do for a long time: write some of the stories that revolved around my dad's and my setting out lines on the banks of the Mackinaw River in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. If you want to read all the posts as a short story, here are links to all the "When I Was a Boy" posts. I've marked my favorites with asterisks. Use the comments feature to let me know which ones you like ... if any. Critical comments appreciated too.
