I Can See Back William E Patterson

Faced with signs of short term memory loss and the possibility of dementia after a life of 85 years, the author has set about to document his early years growing up in Missouri. As thoughts come to mind, he intersperses chronology with random opinion pieces on sexual awakening, a kidnapping, a visit by a President, a hospital seduction and student demonstration. In a unique approach, his memories are accompanied by the obituaries of friends and acquaintances.
