Scrapbooks given to me by my father

From the Forward of "Gibbon's Secrets": 

Reg Phelps, my father, started collecting pictures and stories about the war at the beginning of 1940 - thinking that it would be a collection of true to life history for me, his son, Bud.

The pleasure I get from reading about history and remembering the everyday happenings of my youth has prompted me to write this story.  I feel enriched by the heritage of my family and the love that was shown throughout my early years as a boy in Gibbon Nebraska. . .

I therefore dedicate this story to my family and friends.  Read and enjoy my enhanced remembrance of the 40's.
