World War II history - Gibbon, Nebraska

If anyone out there is interested in World War II history they can re-live that time frame of 1940-1945 by reading my account of growing up in a small town in Nebraska. Fortunately my Father left me three scrap books containing newspaper clippings about World War II - I researched the interesting battles and have included them as a "World War II Time Line" at the end of each year covered in my memories. The book, "Gibbon's Secrets", is available on line and you can find out where to buy it on my web site www.budsbooks.com. Check it out and take your trip back in time!
