About the Book

My Purpose in writing Old Shop Stories was to share the stories and history with my family and posterity but as I have shared them with others I found a great interest from people who are not family members they really enjoy the stories because of this I decided to publish the book.

These are true stories from the life and experiences of men and woman in the early 1900, s through the great depression. This book is a collection of life experience told in my dad's repair shop which I heard as I was growing up.


Time. Past, future, present. What is it? Lives come and lives go. The allusive thing called time flies on wings of lightning and the present slips silently into the past and is soon forgotten. The old shop has lain silent now for many years. The secrets, stories, dreams and ambitions held within those walls have vanished and faded into an all but forgotten history. Along with the men who were in fact, that history.


My dad spent a great amount of time in the old shop out back of our house where the farmers and others would bring equipment to be repaired, cars to be fixed and have all manner of things made. As a boy, youth and young adult I spent countless hours in the shop with my dad and others. These men would often sit around and talk about their life experiences most of them originating from the early to mid 1900's



About fifteen years ago I became aware that when I die these experiences along with the unique culture in which they occurred would be lost forever. With this in mind and wanting to preserve this portion of history I decided to recall from memory and write the stories I heard while sitting around the potbellied stove in the old shop.


The men and women who's stories these were have lived their lives, become what they are and have taken that into their eternity. They have created and left behind their legacy. For them, life is as water under a bridge. It is gone and cannot be altered for good or bad. What is, is. What was, was. . You still have time to leave the legacy you choose to leave. Use your gift of time and choose wisely.
