Growing Up Carlisle is a humorous and nostalgic trip down memory lane as Jim Garnett shares his childhood memories of growing up in small town Iowa in the 50’s & 60’s. The book captures the innocence of this magical time filled with hula hoops, flat tops smeared with butch wax, glass milk bottles, cuffed jeans, and little candy buttons stuck on rolls of paper. As we travel back in time together, you will sense that this was a time where life seemed simpler, safer, and more satisfying. As an extra bonus, one thing that will happen for sure is that my childhood memories will serve to "jumpstart" your own childhood memories, and before long, you will be reliving precious moments that have long lay idle! It is then that you will experience the truth of this statement, “ You will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. ” - Dr. Seusse
