Ramsey’s pockets bulged with odds and ends, and stories flowed from his fingers. Storyteller Laura Deal never met her grandfather Ramsey, who died a decade before she was born, yet she found his voice in her family’s archive. He lived through tumultuous times: the beginning of the automobile age in Colorado, the Great Depression, and the blackouts in San Diego following Pearl Harbor. From meeting Lindbergh on the airfield to tending cats and a garden, Ramsey’s stories live on in his own words in letters, diaries, and the articles he wrote as a news reporter. Laura combines her training as a historian, her imagination as a dream worker, and her skills as a storyteller and poet to weave the personal stories and photos of his life into the larger fabric of the history he lived through.
