"Your book is a book of history... you've done a nice job of capturing some of the day-to-day things that have changed in farming life. Your stories also take me back to feelings that I recall as a child. . .those feelings of youthful exuberance and pangs of guilt and other family interactions (written in) such wonderful detail."
Katherine Stahl (Host of Spectrum West) Wisconsin Public Radio (November 2003)
