On their last visit, Pa and Granny brought an interesting gift for the boys. It was a children’s book they said they purchased 40 years ago and just found. This captured my curiosity and they both smiled at me as they explained. It seems I checked this book out of the Washington Elementary School library when I was in the first grade and failed to return it. At the end of the school year, the librarian asked my parents to return or purchase the book. Apparently, we bought it. So what was the book I treasured so much that I kept? It was “The Engine That Lost It’s Whistle” by Genevieve Cross. It appears that I liked trains as a little boy too!
