A lifelong resident of Mason City, Fancher has a keen mind, and a heart for the quaint, easily lost memories of youth: From bathing in a galvanized washtub, to trailing behind the ice-delivery truck to beg shards of ice on a hot day; from fishing at Salt Creek at night and listening to the bobcats, to World War II blackouts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReading Fancher's book, one becomes familiar with local characters like Kenny Hanover, still barbering after fifty years, and Edna Sylvie, the barefoot taxi lady. Told as a series of \"Remember when .?\" and \"Did you ever .?\" snippets, reading this book is like flipping through an old family photo album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45140293058711,"sku":"9780595435289","price":1184.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780595435289.webp?v=1767285488","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/down-mason-citys-memory-lane-9780595435289","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
