As time marches on, we tend to forget past customs, lifestyles, hardships, and pleasures. The upcoming generation is often not interested in the past until it's too late, and it's gone and forgotten. This book tells of seven decades of life in a the rural south so the young can know what is meant by "The Good Old Days" and the old can reminisce.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Lingering Memories is a book full of changes experienced by the author over the past seven decades. From schools, to transportation, to work, to the way people live -it is impossible to imagine as many changes occurring in the next 70 years.
About the Author
This writer was born on a farm in the south on October 17, 1923 as one of five children. His parents took the chance to get ahead financially, just in time to be wiped out by the boll weevil then by the Depression. He served in the navy in World War II returning home to a life of sales & farming. "From rags to riches," he says, pretty well sums up his life - not necessarily in money, but in prosperity and easy living as compared to those Depression days.

A childhood revisited,
By Mavis Kinman (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lingering Memories (Paperback)
Reading LINGERING MEMORIES was a delightful way to revisit my childhood. I'm sure not everyone would remember using butter on your freckles to try to "cure" them. Mr. Reynolds makes everything seem so realistic. It was truly a pleasure to read this book. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds, for reminding us of our roots.

read it again and again,
By D. Worsham (Grenada, Mississippi United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lingering Memories (Paperback)
Lingering Memories is a book that will NOT be read once and then placed on a shelf to collect dust. Some of my greatest memories are the ones of sitting with my dad and listening to stories of the "good ol' days". Dad has been gone for several years now, but when I pick up Mr. Reynold's book I feel I have a little re-visit with him. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds, from the bottom of my heart for sharing Lingering Memories with us!

Lingering Memories,
By Phillip Lambert (Como, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lingering Memories (Paperback)
My wife and I enjoyed this book very much. It portrayed life in the delta when times were simple and gave insight into southern culture during the mid-1900s. Many descriptions associated with farm life were familiar, but there were some unfamiliar ones as well. We learned much from reading this book. The southern "phrases" at the conclusion of the book were delightful. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds, for helping us remember our past as southerners.
