The Making of a Storyteller
I listened in awe as my Dad told another story17 total reviews
Comment from Dean Kuch
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I've yet to have to cross that bridge and I can tell you, unequivocally that I'm not looking forward to it.
It's funny the things we remember from our childhood, isn't it?
The simpler, warmer times--if we're fortunate enough to have such fond memories.
Sadly, some don't.
Thankfully, I do.
Good writing.

This is a nice real story.
There is fun, laughter and strangeness telling the story by dad.
I liked and enjoyed the read.
Wish you good luck.

Cool memory!.... My dad was quite a yarn spinner also....
I do like your story... I don't see any issues that need attending to...
And I don't think you should change a thing.... Good Job!
Good luck also in the contest.

Wonderful story and I, too, have heard those types of remembrances. Wasn't it great before cell phones? I'll bet your Dad loved those trips.

I'd love to hear a few of those tall tales. Or even one.
I wonder if this story would be more effective if you actually
told one of the stories.
Just a suggestion.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee
the yearly ritual that took place at our house every year about a week or two before Thanksgiving.--this is redundant. A yearly ritual must occur every year, right?

Thank you so much for your review. I did consider telling one of the stories but I'm multi-tasking here at the house today and was of the essence. You have inspired me though. I remember a couple of those stories pretty good, and they are sure to bring a smile. Thanks again.

Thank you for your review, I really appreciate it. Dad was 83, he lived a full life. I am who I am because of my father.
