In a true story called Railroad, he remembers the anguish and rage of a relative that felt responsible for the loss of life of a train crew in a treacherous Iowa winter blizzard in the 30's. In another story, Pancho's Train he envisions the army of the great Pancho Villa rolling north to claim their legacy. In the story Rain Crows, he vividly remembers life as a child and the close bond between his grandmother on a rainy day at the turn of the century. In Rain Crows, my father says, I would love to tell such a child some tales of the wonder and the magic of the world. A sad epitaph, but a window to the past through the eyes of a common American who was part of building the worlds greatest industrial century and witnessed the changes of technology, culture, and history as we know it today.
