Summary:
"Nix Wadden's charming memoir of growing up in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 1930s and 1940s. His tale is sprinkled with dry wit, highlighting the friendly invasion of American and Canadian servicemen on Newfoundland soil during the Second World War, during which time he attended St. Bonaventure's College under the strict tutelage of Christian Brothers. Between summers in Kelligrews with his family and beating the streets of downtown St. John's, Nix and his boyhood friends chased one adventure after another: hitchhiking across the province on a whim, cross-country skiing with the Newfoundland Hiking Club, playing intercollegiate sports, particularly hockey, and joining up with the First St. John's Boy Scout Troop. From there he leads into the 1950s -- his university years and his work at Memorial University's student newspaper, The Muse. A wistful remembrance of days gone by, and a laugh-out-loud recollection of a sometimes misspent youth. Nix Wadden worked as a writer, reporter, and editor in Newfoundland news media between 1952 and 1966"--Provided by publisher.
