Opis

Between these covers are poignant and humorous stories with images set in Freeport, Illinois, also known as the Pretzel City. You'll read about the moon, a third grader's early attempts at writing, words of wisdom from a notable biographer, and why the author of FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS IN FREEPORT considers the Pretzel City his center of the universe. There are also tales about illnesses, a horse named "Maggie," a great university, courtships and a wedding, a cherished gift, dreams, and dropping off a daughter for her freshman year at college. Finally, you'll encounter sagas about a father-son relationship, composing for the clarinet, an exchange student's year-long stay in the Pretzel City, and a trip down memory lane in a prized home. It's looking good in Freeport (All profits from the sale of this book will help support the selfless service provided by Freeport Noon Rotary to citizens in Northwest Illinois and throughout the world.)
