There usually is something that reminds us of our childhood that still reverberates inside of us when are become adults. For me there are more than a few but the latest installment of The Tales from Auburn Creek has a more innocent tone about it. Most of us were socially awkward at that age and that feeling never seems to leave us.

One question you always get when you work in the media is how did you get started in the business? Most will tell you about getting experience during college and then an internship and so on and so on. Mine started much earlier than that. As I have always said God made sure I was fed but he was about to teach me how to fish and that changed everything as you hear in this installment of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled Jim.

He lost his wife and his home in the country, well sort of. His children talked him into moving into town. He didn't want to do it but they convinced him. He still owns all he had amassed over his nearly 80 years which was impressive but you would never know it. It is often said a man is what he wears.
