Alumni Stories
Donald De Vries
Class of 1961
I was not going to post this information to the Sheldon, Iowa alumni site, because I assumed many of you might not like or care for this, and also the writing might be atrocious . But. I'll just post it here, and warn people that it could get: somewhat coarse, with perhaps some unpopular thoughts and ideas, and to remind everyone this is a fictional depiction, that no characters are drawn from reality, depicting any singular person who actually really existed. Finally, I love where I grew up, and I love all of you, and I love all the Sheldon thoughts and memories I have been left with. (Some car makes and models and some names may have been lovingly borrowed.)
Story Time
Here's my (1) Finished Novel and (2) Older Pre-Pre-Novel Story. Who, What, Where, When, Why: Sheldon, Floyd, Arnold's Park, Lake Okoboji, IOWA. Growing up quickly. Sex, drugs, love, friendship, hate, mental illness, God, religion, spirituality, and (unexplained incest), etc, etc - ALL things come to us, all things are lost to us, all things are searched for and found, and all things may well be reborn, allowing us to join in the overcoming of problems with our very own Infinite Loving Creator. This Novel Form Is: Semi-autobiographical, semi-historical, semi-fictional, Semi-Milange. Other Issues: (Please Note and excuse, and forgive any remaining online formatting issues, errors, and problems, and any unintentional objectionable material.) Where to find this novel and prenovel story online:
