The Nile on eBay   Growing Up Yooper by Jim Kane

"Charming and unassuming, Jim Kane's recollections of his childhood in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan paints for the reader as much of his innocent, sweet nature as about the lessons he learns. He had the good fortune of being reared in a family that provided "way cool" experiences. The nostalgia of one's childhood offers a host of material for our memoir writing today, and Jim Kane's Growing Up Yooper illuminates much of what is missing in today's culture. Mary Luther, Professor Emeritus, English Department, Muskegon Community College, Muskegon, Michigan "For any young man who grew up in a rural town atmosphere in the 1940's and 50's, this book will speak to you. It is a reminder of all that was good in that life, another era that we now miss deeply. Jim Kane has captured the essence of that life, when it was much simpler and the rewards came from family and community. Whether it is a first car, first date, first buck, or just exploring the wonders of the woods and streams with good friends, it will speak to you and bring back memories that are buried deep within your psyche. Treat yourself to a trip down a young man's capture of his Upper Peninsula roots in the State of Michigan." Frank P. Marczak, Ed.D., Class of 58, AD Johnson High School, Bessemer, Michigan "Whether telling a story about attending a high school prom or catching brook trout, Jim Kane ably captures the charm and innocence of his boyhood in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Each chapter is a reminder of the joys of simplicity: a job well done, a compliment from a parent, a blueberry muffin, a treasured hunting rifle. These are the rich experiences that we share as people of the Upper Peninsula, our stories." Dean Premo, Ph.D., Co-founder of White Water Associates, Inc. (Ecological Consulting & Environmental Laboratory), Co-founder of White Water family band, Amasa, Iron County, Michigan
