Book excerpt: This collection of personal stories and past memories are shared by people lucky enough to have grown up in a small town. They tell of the early days when life as a child was simple and safe. They talk about the foods they ate and the places they went, of the things they did and the games they played and the schools they loved. They write about the tiny universe they were raised in, with its lake and creeks and bogs and swamps and woods and fields and farms they explored. They roamed the land as "free range kids" with unbounded freedom. They talk about the people who impacted their lives: their teachers and coaches; their parents and neighbors. They relive the years with their young friends and close neighbors as if they were family. Because they were. They remember their struggles and hardships. And their fun times too. They remember their first loves and old enemies. But, in the end, they look back at those 'good old days' and smile with gratitude that they grew up in Wilmington, Our Town.
