Way We Were--Part 2: Personal Reflections on Life in the Ozarks

The Way We Were . . . Personal Reflections on Life in the Ozarks-Part 2 is a curated collection of 53 articles from Lonnie Whitaker's award-winning newspaper column in the Howell County News in Willow Springs, Missouri. The stories recall a time when one-room schools still populated the hills, and small-town teenagers in cars equipped with stick shifts and AM radios cruised Main Street after homecoming games. Engaging anecdotes and colorful characters from the author's life will transport you to a bygone era in the Missouri Ozarks of the 1950s and 60s.
