Reviews:
“There is nothing quite as delicious as retrieving a lost memory and going over and over it, gleaning every sweet detail. Your magic is in the details . . . long forgotten morsels of experiences like ‘sprinkling’ the lawn in the evening or sitting on the porch at the end of the day, and the name CEDRIC ADAMS! I was amazed to say this out loud. To me, it was always one word . . . Cedrickadams. Ah!”
—Claire F. Horton, Michigan
“ Kent Stever draws complete pictures of the scenes of our childhood. His stories of growing up in a small town in the Midwest will bring all the wonder and innocence of the ’50s back to the reader.”
—Frances Edstrom, Publisher, Winona Post
“Kent Stever takes you by the hand for a stroll back in time to a simpler place, one sprinkled with nostalgia and fond remembrance. His writing conjures up images so exact you’ll swear you’re sitting at a soda fountain sipping on a cherry Coke while he tells his tales.”
—Mike Nistler, Publisher, Minnesota Moments Magazine
About the Author: Kent Stever has a myriad of interests. He continues to develop short stories and histories of his life in Winona, a river town of Minnesota—with focus on the 1950s. He is a writer, longtime educator and a person of multiple hobbies. He relishes today the memories and joy of neighbors, friends, and community members who mutually supported one another. He is pleased to have twilight years in Lakeville to reflect and share little stories of life in Winona.
