Trailer Trash and Oil Field Brat is about how I grew up in
the turbulent years following World War Two. Jobs were scarce and the job
market was flooded with young men returning from the war. My father chose to
work in the oil fields even though it meant leaving home and living in trailers
or the occasional apartment.
I have tried to be as factual as possible in the telling of
my life. It was easy to bring out the funny and interesting things that just
naturally happens to boys as they grow up. Before the book was started I had my
doubts if I could think of enough things to write about. As it progressed, at
one point I told my wife that people wouldn’t believe all the things that did
take place.
Trailers are interwoven throughout the book. There is
literally no way to estimate how many miles my wife and I have traveled in RVs
of some kind since we were married. The Alaska trip alone covered over 13,000
miles. We don’t regret a single penny that we spent in this endeavor. It is like
the book says; once trailer trash, always trailer trash.

Love'd this. Very interesting and cool to see how life was back then.
