Happy Days Along the Kennebec is a combination memoir and social history of “growing up” in the ’40s and ’50s in a small city in Maine. Do you remember neighborhood stores, the ice-man, bottled milk delivered to your door, the Fuller Brush man, minstrel shows, the town doctor who made house-calls, neighborhood games like Kick-the-Can, visits to the local dairy farm, swimming holes, sliding on an un-sanded city street, skating on a local pond, home-cooked meals, local “hang-outs”, ’50s music and record hops? The author contends that readers can enjoy this book, whether they grew up in the 1950s or the 1970s, whether they lived in Hallowell, Maine or Des Moines, Iowa. These incidents are indicative of life in a different time, place and at a different pace. Open the book and enjoy the various aspects of a time gone by, but not soon forgotten.
