West-Texas-1947

About the Book

About the Author

Born 1919. Teenaged the great depression. Served in the Pacific Theater in W.W.2. Married 67 yrs. to the same old gal - her name is Cynthia. Isn’t that a beautiful name? Owned piano and organ stores in West and Central Texas. Retired in 1976. My right leg was amputated at my butt in 1999. Wrote two non-fiction books - published. “ What Color Blue,” “ West Texas - 1947___,” also “Romance in Prose and Poems” With a Little Foolishness, and “Writer’s Aid” which is more than interesting. Achieved inclusion in Marquis’ “ Who’s Who in America” in 2005. For relaxation, when not writing, I play my piano. Other times, I sit on the deck grinning back at the fish, jumping in the lake to taunt me, and the ducks quacking at me. They all know me by name. So, have your coffee in hand and, get your rocker to rocking, and smile through it. Mel Reaves
