Come celebrate a town, Klamath Falls, Oregon; official population 18,538 (people, that is; the cows you will have to count yourself). Join the author in a homespun journey through the past in a town that is the epitome of all hometowns. Located on a route that is the shortest distance between Los Angeles and Seattle, this town seems innocuous enough, however, a peek beneath its exterior reveals enough oddities, quirks and interesting characters to fuel the tabloids for centuries.
This rendering of the author's memoirs offers shameless name-dropping of well-known personalities, recounts of events that have local, near-legendary status (among those involved at least) and some actual history that didn't quite make it into the history books.
Fade into the past to an era devoid of terms such as "Duuuude," "Sweeeeet" and "Da Bomb!" Words that will characterize this world are more like "Golly," "Gosh," "Gee Whiz" and "Shucky-Darn". Let a mildly embarrassed pelican guide you on this tongue-in-cheek and often, ironic visit to a place that isn't too far from everyone's growing up experience.
