Book Reviews:
“Truly well written. Enjoyed traveling down memory lane with many of the authors. This is a take anywhere book. I actually related to many of the stories. Claudia writes about living in a small town in central Indiana in words that paints a vivid picture of the home she lived in. Linda reminds us of the time when we played out of doors in our own back yard with no TV. Moments like Hike and Seek and ‘Going Back in Time’ were a joy to read. I recommend it to ALL!  Good job Indianapolis Senior Center.”

“I found this an interesting read from front to back. The authors are an eclectic group, and therefore their stories are varied, but ever interesting. The stories are well edited and well presented. It was a pleasurable walk into my own memories.”
