Dr. Norman Hall Shares Short Stories From His Life in His Book “Back Roads of My Memory”

Live. Have fun. Make the most of life. Serve the nation. Raise a family. Build a career in the academe. Bask in the memories of a life well-lived. Dr. Norman Hall did all that, and he lives long enough to share stories from his storied life in his book “Back Roads of My Memory” (LifeRich Publishing; 2018).

“Back Roads of My Memory” is divided into seven parts, which pretty much cover stories from his boyhood, years at college, family, work, and travels, as well as reflections and insights from things he had learned and stories he likes to tell.

“You will be exposed to a variety of my experiences, some 165, to be exact,” wrote Dr. Hall in the book’s introduction. “These experiences cover more than the ninety-four years of my life. I have a great life with many memories. At age ninety-four, I am thankful that I have the back roads of a lifetime of memories to travel and reflect upon.”

Sit up and read intently as Dr. Hall tells a story or two about “The Midnight Ghost,” “The Seventeen Acres of Misery,” “The Crash of the Cotton Market,” “Selling the Milk Cows,” “The Vanishing Wife,” “The Restroom at the Fire Station,” “A Great Small Town,” “The School Board Policy handbook,” “Property Ownership,” and many more.

Dr. Hall’s short stories are sure to delight readers who love nostalgia, especially those who grew up in a rural area where “the roads were mainly dirt and the rural mail carrier was the chief source of news for most families.” This book will take them down memory lane.
