TALES OF A SIMPLER TIME
Larger Print
Carolyn R Scheidies,
has released a memoir entitled TALES OF A SIMPLER TIME, Wisconsin Childhood Remembered.
Scheidies is the daughter of Rev. William Fredrickson
who served the Siren Covenant Church in the late 1950's. She said, “I have fond memories of my growing up years in Siren.”
Carol Dykstra, who was a childhood friend, from Siren wrote the foreword to the book.
Scheidies said, “I was just a kid when
we left and I lost touch with Carol. When I was working on the book I tried to make contact with the Siren Covenant Church
only to discover that Carol was the church secretary. Considering she was one of the main ones I wanted to contact, I was
elated to reestablish that connection.”
TALES OF A SIMPLER TIME, Wisconsin Childhood
Remembered, is look back at a more innocent time when faith and family were important values. This look back helps us refocus
our own priorities, provides a new perspective and gives us a foundation of hope for today.
Through vignettes and stories, Scheidies recreates
the 50’s of her childhood. Scheidies views this as a gift book and a pleasant read down memory lane (for many) or for
a glimpse of a more secure life that many in this generation wish they could live now— and can through the pages of
a book. Looking back helps us look ahead with renewed hope in ourselves, our faith and our world.
Some of the chapters are: BOPPING BOREDOM; THE
PICKLE FACTORY; DANNY; WINTER WONDER SKATES; MEMORIAL DAY REMEMBERED 1958; DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE; CHOSEN (How A Train Ride
Changes A Little Girl’s Perspective) and many more.
