An All-American family.
I'm "The Caboose" in my sister Molly's lap.

and Gram having some afternoon fun.
She was a great companion to a budding kid detective
-- especially with her true crime stories.
A
very mysterious-looking Big Brick,
back in the 19th Century when it was built.

Being "The Caboose" has its down side...
My first chance to solve a real crime!
(Somebody broke into my father's store one winter night).

As adolescence set in, my
weight
increased significantly between 12 and 14.
A NOTE TO PARENTS...if your child exhibits a dramatic
physical change, please talk to them about it
openly, honestly, and with compassion.
Know what's going on in their lives.
Be mature enough to consider the secrets
they might not be telling you.
The
top hatch for climbing down into my teenage
detective Headquarters, hidden in my family's' barn.
Headquarters...the
First Investigator's desk.
Note the "Control Panel" with the switch for the siren
to the right and slightly above the desk
(for quick access in an investigative emergency!).
My
Lifesavers bag...
with all the equipment a teenage detective could need.
The onset of high school;
Life and relationships become more complicated.
My best friend, Bob,
my sometimes girlfrend, Beth, and me.

grapple with
