My family could have been the prototype for a '50's TV sitcom. So it was quite a surprise to hear my 87-year-old father swapping recollections with his 82-yearold brother about all the wild adventures they'd had growing up during the '20's and '30's in the small southeast Kansas town of Chetopa. Relatives I'd only heard about now became colorful characters with a whole spectrum of eccentricities. The yarns were wild and so, apparently, were my relatives I wrote down their tales and spun the stories just as they'd swapped them. Dad swears they are all true So this is where and WHO I come from | Tell Us a Good Lie and Other Chetopa Tales by Janis E Saket, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
