Abstract:
Memories of a Country Boy is a collection of heartwarming episodes that took place in the life of nationally known artist “Cotton” Ketchie. He grew up in the country, north of Mooresville, North Carolina, near his Grandmother’s small farm. Each chapter is an amusing window into the life of a country child of the 1950’s. He understands and appreciates that everything from possum hunting to getting shot with an arrow by his brother has added to his many colorful memories. Ketchie’s dream of finally becoming an artist is realized in the summer of his life.
