“Nobody ever really knows how much of his makeup i environment and how much is heredity–no matter what stories you grandmother use to tell about the gallantry of your ancestors.  But there were certain specific things that happened in your formative years that marked you, and sometimes you have the capacity to remember them exactly as they happened.” 22 Chapters of pure Tom Kelly prose.  Tom notes, ” Chapter 20, the tuning is the only wedding Field and Stream ever covered.”
