THE CENTER OF THE WORLD – ON THE MOVE is a fast moving trip into the past. Join Albert and Marie’s growing family. Author Ron Schaffer recognizes many area residents, who made important contributions, as exciting family adventures developed. A brief review of most important wonderful neighbors includes: REA: Electric power replaced kerosene lamps and candles. DOCTOR Corey: Everyone knew about Doc’s dashes to the rescue. PETEY AND GUS; I sat by the roadside shaking and frightened at the thought of what might have happened. R.J.WOOD: Ron, our family is getting too big for Dolly. We’d like to give our pony to your family. TRADER-DEALER PETE LORAFF: Storming through the barnyard was the hard charging Prince, pulling the bouncing buggy with two little girls hanging on for dear life. THE THRESHING CREW: A sharp crackling spark flashed out evolving into a blazing fire. JANITOR ALBERT HARFERT: Three stories suddenly seemed like ten stories. What the heck, if Albert can do it – I can do it too. COUSIN ART: Coach Reed gave him the most important assignment. “Guse, you are guarding Jackie Robinson”! THE CHICAGO CUB SCOUT: Dad had Tony right where he wanted him. Tony most likely knew he was in charge. SONNY BARTON; Sonny, Jack Zimmerman and Bill Geik joined the war effort. NEW TROY MARKET: Will they take advantage of this rookie seller. FREDDIE GNODTKE: A troublesome flat tire could be lurking around the next corner. HOSEA AND LAURA: They walked south to the home of a minister, in Galien, to be married.
