A Frog Hollow Childhood by Lynn Davis
Once upon a simpler time, a child's fun included an intense interaction within its environment, whether on a bus to a beach, swimming lessons in a city pool, or working tobacco fields. Interaction was also between machinery and the processes that made things function such as an icebox, iron furnace, clothesline, or oil jug. She writes of a time before technology took over and computers did all the work. The author recreates with her narrative and photographs a nostalgic reminiscence of those earlier decades for all who grew up in them and introduces the times to those who didn't. She recalls the years when life and living was hands on, when youngsters played and worked hard being part of life's assembly line. Today's children can switch on or plug in to make things function, but the fun is gone and with it, the knowledge of how things work. Lynn lived the first forty-six years of her life in the Frog Hollow section of Hartford, Connecticut. It was growing up in the Frog Hollow during the 1940s and 1950s that is the inspiration for her memoir of childhood during those years.Lynn Davis The mother of two boys, Lynn lives on the outskirts of Austin, Texas where she is the oldest of six siblings and the doting aunt of five nieces and eleven nephews. Her major goal in life is to encourage, inspire, and uplift. Lynn has an educational background in business administration from Huston-Tillotson University at Austin and a Master's of Science in Leadership & Ethics from Saint Edwards University at Austin.
