I liked the old stories of yesteryear, a good portion of stories in my old dog eared magazines from that era are written vicariously by many famous authors. Those stories allowed me to live many an imaginative adventure as a young boy. They were the inspiration for me to become the kid who got off the school bus to go on my own adventures in the woods, rivers and streams while the other kids rode their bikes, played baseball or watched saturday morning cartoons. They did serve a purpose at least for me at the time, didn't matter a whit to me that they were fiction.
