Growing Up In Pensacola is a collection mostly humorous essays written over the past several years describes the author’s experiences
growing up in a large family in a small coastal community in Florida during the thirties, forties and fifties. It’s a potpourri of stories, that can
be read in any order, that share the youthful joys of summers spent at the old swimming hole on Bayou
Texar, the challenges of
grammar school, the concerns of family and friends during World War II and the family’s connection to
local politics. The love of community and respect for friends and neighbors, are evident in the stories
about East Pensacola Heights; and the love of boats and fishing by the author’s family and
friends is demonstrated throughout. Adventures in commercial fishing, near disasters in the bays, collisions in
the Gulf, and near involvement with U-Boats in the Gulf of Mexico are recounted from interviews with
family and friends, and the author’s research. The author’s conversational
style makes reading the stories enjoyable and entertaining.
