Still My Story, And I’m Sticking to It!, is Tom Nelson’s third book of commentary reflecting on the character and characters of his 1940’s and 1950’s growing up days in Fennimore, Wisconsin. His popular newspaper column in the Fennimore Times the past seven years provides an abundance of short stories relating to the fabric of small town life in simpler times. Claiming all his stories are true, he has admitted to an embellishment on occasion. His personal reminiscences could be your stories as well.
