Just finished "Life and Times" and thoroughly loved it! Mrs. Campbell grew up several states away from me and with a larger family than I had, but so much of her story reminds me of my early life and times. I well remember the scent of Coppertone, summers before sunscreen, and being both fascinated and a little suspicious of those aluminum Christmas trees. I will be looking into some more of her stories.

Very nice short read. Like a cross between Rosamunde Pilcher and Prairie Home Companion. Reading this book is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Was reading this when the author described her
MIA POW bracelet of a Hugh A Stafford. One of
My Navy pilot husband's best friends was in the
Hanoi Hilton for seven years and wrote a book about
His experience. We called him Al. I asked my husband
What Al's first name was. Hugh. Oh my what a
Coincidence. I wish she had contacted him. He
Was a great and interesting guy. He would have
Loved to have met her. He died a few
Years ago, though. He was studied by the Govt. Every
Year because Vietnam was the first time
Americans were in captivity for so long.
We could fill her in on his life after Vietnam. I'm sure
Her prayers helped him.
