The Life and Times of Wildwood Dean

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WILDWOOD DEAN, records a dream born out of desperation, on a cold winter weekend in 1986, a dream that carried me back to my beloved Red River-my lifelong dream. Recorded within the pages of the Wildwood Dean saga, is the living of that dream.

Tid-bits from my childhood days are an integral part of my attempt to relate to the reader how the laws of nature (Dad called them 'Natures Ways') helped fulfill my dreams.

The individual quotations and dialogue are not verbatim; they portray the gist of the conversations as I remembered them; after all they can only be what I remember about the truth.

Although the flow of the text follows a general timeline from beginning to end, each chapter and the events in each chapter, stand alone in their relation, timewise, to the complete storyline.

RIVER OF DREAMS was about what Red River meant to me and my family during my formative years.
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WILDWOOD DEAN is about what I meant to Red River during my adult years.
