book

contributed photo Gary L. Schnellert of Sartell just published his memoir of growing up on a farm in the wilds of southeast Manitoba in the 1950s and 1960s. The book, comprised of 60 short chapters, runs that gamut of emotions and experiences -- tight-knit family, hard work, comical incidents, boyhood adventures, the value of neighbors and friends, disappointments, sorrows and the "sting of death."
