Growing Up is about the formative years of four children who grew up on a dairy and tobacco farm in southwest Wisconsin in the 1930s and 1940s. They took their first innocent childhood steps in the security of a loving family. As they grew toward adolescence, the world was no longer a storybook land, as they had imagined in grade school, but a whole new world of different people and strange surroundings. It always seemed, though, as they grew from puberty to young adulthood, that what they learned in Sunday school and from their parents came to the surface when they were faced with making hard decisions in an adult world. The difference between right and wrong, instilled in them from earliest childhood, stayed with them all their lives.All parents want their children to have a better life than their own, and their parents did everything they could to convince them to get a more complete education. Tom did not go to college like his sister and brothers, but attended a vocational school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where he learned auto mechanics and welding. After one year, he was drafted into the Army and served in Korea. The war had just ended, so he did not see battle. Come join this wonderful family on a trip down memory lane.
