Terry McKelvey was born and raised in Barnesville, Ohio, (near Ohio’s eastern border).
A modern day Huckleberry Finn, his tales of this city as seen through his eyes when
growing up, his family, friends, teachers and acquaintances will stir virtually
every reader’s imagination. His objective is to stimulate, via this book, each
reader’s personal insight into his (or her) own peccadilloes as children, inspire
similar memories, and warm everyone’s heart. Terry has detailed every remembered
incident without regard for his having originally hurt anyone and/or its positive
or negative effect on himself, thus baring himself to potential criticism. He has,
therefore, run the gamut from sedate description through destructive episodes to
lurid rumors and gossip about Barnesville’s sexual mores and history. No reader
will close this opus without a new awareness or without having felt he (or she)
participated in a thrilling series of interesting and imaginative events.
