The Early Years, A Memoir: A Free Spirit's Prepubescence & Adolescence

By Ridge Magee

This book was previously published under the title My Beginnings, A Memoir. The new title is In The Early Years, A Memoir.

I was the baby of the family, still am.I was an observant child, eager to be independent and unquestioned and I had 2 older siblings from which certain knowledge was to be gained. These qualities were not easily acquired but I was persistent. Mom and dad had to be two of the most patient child rearers of the 20th century. My exploits involved grapefruits, chickens, bows and arrows, cats, horses, cigarettes (camel unfiltered), dog poo, funeral homes, bare bottoms, necking, Cadillacs, 49 Buicks and mysterious looking iron pipes. It's a good thing dad wasn't poor or I would have broke him completely. Having a good friend in the owner of our local oil cartel didn't hurt either.

All of these seemingly abstract references to past deeds will be fully elaborated on as my childhood unfolds in living black & white (we didn't have color until 1963 and then as I recall it was mostly purple).
