Recollections

Recollections is a heartfelt collection of true stories from Stan Garretson's life-capturing the grit, humor, and warmth of growing up in rural America. With vivid detail and a storyteller's charm, Garretson shares memories of hayfields, hunting trips, family misadventures, brushes with danger, and moments of quiet reflection. From surviving a lightning strike to chasing pheasants with his grandson, each story brings readers closer to a way of life that's fading, yet unforgettable. These down-to-earth tales of work, family, and small-town living remind us what it means to persevere, laugh, and hold tight to the people and moments that matter most.
