Everyone has events in their lives that determine how their lives turn out. Follow the author's real-life stories and adventures from his early childhood in the 1950s and through various stages of life. Meet Buppy, the Old Yeller clone, and the author's companions as they roamed the Red River delta land. Experience what it was like to have to go to first grade after being free to roam, spending lots of time "behind the green piano." Next, join in the rebellious years and time spent trying to get attention, and then the salvation that came from Boy Scouts, and the fondness for hot dogs. Experience the early teaching years, and how a difficult principal actually changed the life of the author with a Radio Shack Model I microcomputer.
