by Homer Hickam. One of the best books I ever read, and a reminder of an age when boys were encouraged to be boys. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Yeah the movie is pretty good too.

Catches the spirit of the book.
Thanks. I’ll see if I can get a copy.
