Summary

Unfortunately, even small towns - Vincennes included - eventually change, sometimes for the better, and other times, not so much. It's the natural order of things.

Trees grow old and fall. Sidewalks split and crack and are replaced for public safety's sake. Old houses - and all the memories associated with them - are demolished and replaced with parking lots or duplexes. Even historical landmarks - Mother Nature, and Father Time having taken their toll - sadly, vanish - except for our own pictures and memories of them.

Luckily for Vincennes residents, local historian Norbert Brown has created a Facebook group page entitled, Vincennes Remember When, to help all of us keep our fond memories intact, and to reminisce and enjoy them 24-7.

It was his infinite wisdom of our local history and group page that was the inspiration for this book - and the stories within. Some of these stories may elicit a tear, some laughter.

Some may remind you of an old friend you haven't seen since high school - or, sadly, one that has passed in recent years. Some may remind you of your childhood, your teenage years - or having to bid them farewell, in order to move on to bigger and better things; marriage, children, grandchildren, and a lifetime of wonderful memories that only a tight-knit, loving family can provide.

It is my sincere belief that there will be a story for everybody in this audio, regardless of whether you may be a Vincennes history buff or not.

A refreshing and enjoyable read!!!!


This was a heartwarming and very enjoyable novel. The characters were brought to life by the author's ability to fully involve you in their stories of previous disappointments and in their quest for love and happiness! I would definitely recommend this novel to everyone.

Letting go of fear and opening your heart.


One of the most entertaining stories I have read. This story was filled with hope, love, and peace. I think I have a new favorite author.

Great one


The stories here need to be told and as the author says in the book almost all the WWii vets are passing away and soon no-one will be around to tell their stories. If you want to know what these vets went through listen or read this book as it is well written and you can almost picture these men as they tell their stories to the author. I think you will enjoy this book.

Another excellent read.


And the excellent adventure continues with familiar characters and new relationships, lots of action, humor and a sprinkling of romance.

5stars for a great book that is for all ages to enjoy. No steamy unrealistic sex scenes but just enough to be enticing. It makes me wish I were rich and beautiful too.

Great Story!


This is a real feel-good novel and sometimes, that’s the perfect thing to read. The setting was beautifully described and the characters were believable. I recommend this book.
