Born in 1914, growing up in rural Tennessee, participating in the Depression; WWII as a shipyard electrician; the RV craze; and the Martin family and ancestors. Thad helped install the first electricity to TVA homes and is the last member of the Marine IBEW. A dry, humorous style and lots of photos make this an entertaining read, told in 2012 when Thad was 98, to Deborah Wilbrink of Perfect Memoirs.
