The proof of that lies in the pages of this all-too-brief memoir. In it, Phil takes us back to the Reidsville of the 1920s, when he was a boy, growing up in a big white house on Lindsey Street filled with love and laughter.
He delivers us into a time when people gathered around the radio for "Lum and Abner" and "Amos and Andy," when they sat on front porches on summer evenings and told family stories, when the silent movie theater drew big crowds with local talent shows, when Saturday was bath night, when grocers and druggists delivered by bicycle.
With deft, clear prose, Phil makes his family ours, and Reidsville our hometown. That's all a reader can ask of the written word. I'd bet that Phil's old college classmate, the novelist Robert Ruark, himself a moving memoirist (The Old Man and the Boy), would have been envious of this book. --From the Introduction by Jerry Bledsoe
