Sheppard Higgins is just an average guy who remembers the way it was when he was growing up, and thinks some of those things should be the same today. Sheppard is a great American story teller and has lived each of the stories he recounts in his book. Sheppard lives in Utah in the shadow of the Wasatch mountains with his wife Jean. They together are working on the happily ever after ending, just like everyone else.

Dust bowl
My Grandfather said about the wind in Texas, the only time you can see blue skies is when a prairie dog climbs to the top of a dust cloud to see what color the sky is.
World War II
Once I said to Haws, “Man I’ve seen those old movies. The Japanese Zeros diving at you and you guys on those anti-aircraft gun would spin around and just keep on shooting at them. Man, Haws what courage you must have!”
Old Haws answered me and said, “Well Shep, that’s the way it was alright but the movies don’t tell the whole picture. They’ve got you strapped into that gun, you can’t get out!” |
