This story provides glimpses "back to the future." It is as though Johnny the Mennonite boy could meet his adult self. Does the man reflect the boy or the boy reflect the man he is becoming? This is a selective biography about growing up in a Mennonite community that values both learning and Christian faith. His parents and siblings reinforced his values and learning. The author's interests were nurtured by his community and the rich natural environment of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Many of these interests have passed along to his children and grandchildren. The stories of this book relate to this wonderful heritage. These stories show a child and youth's growth in faith and knowledge.
