Reading this book will be like sitting around a campfire listening to a good storyteller. With wit, grace, and a gift for laugh-out-loud metaphor, Richard Hartman offers well-crafted, generous tales from his days as a forest ranger, paramedic, government official, teacher, son, and Smokey the Bear reenactor. Punctuated by a few clever poems, the whole package is well worth your time.
