The Trip Home: Reflections

By Arthur William Raybold

Arthur William Raybold, poet, salesman, raconteur, relates his memories of growing up in the southeastern region of Massachusetts.In reading these 44 narratives, you will notice the first 20 are about his childhood on Buzzards Bay, from 1938 to 1945, ages 7 to 17. The next 13 reveal his college and teaching years, from 1950 to 1969; the next four occur in Worcester, Massachusetts.His longest story, titled "The Trip Home," written n 1988 when he was 57, is a retrospective of his fortieth high school reunion. Bringing up the rear comes a Singapore story, a canine piece, a San Diego poetry sale, "Snapshots of My Dad," then what I believe to be my best story, "A Comeback for Leo and Me, " and, finally, "Obituary."
