Been watching "Christmas Story" have you?Jean Shephard just died this year and I truly loved his stories. We were 15 or so years apart, but growing up in "small town" midwest hadn't changed much and I "lived" a lot of his tales myself. For some pure nostalgia, read "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters," "A Fistful of Fig Newtons, and "In God We Trust,All Others Pay Cash." I miss him already.
