Nostalgia at its best. Gould's book Grandpa were you Young Once? definitely takes the reader down memory lane. The book is designed in such a way as to share your memories right in the book with your grandchildren. It would be a wonderful book to give to Grandpa this Christmas and have him work all year and gift it back to his grand child next Christmas. It is written with the thought of helping to bridge the generation gap. Such a nice book that everyone can relate to. The author uses his own memories to ignite the reader's memories of their own "good old days." Questions are asked about When you were young what was your favorite...
- TV shows
- Toys
- Books
- Movies

- Food
- Hobbies
- Vacations
or When you were growing up, did you....
- have a favorite (or least) subject in school

- favorite Job(s)
- adventures you had

William (Old Bill) Gould has given many seminars on senior memories over the past five
years. That experience was the basis for this, his third book, but the first one he has
written on this topic. He has lived on both coasts and in the heartland as well as overseas,
so he has a broad, curmudgeonly outlook. He began his "memories" work when he
discovered how many interesting stories of his friends were simply being lost as they
passed away. This work was his way of "giving back". A portion of the book's proceeds
goes to The First Tee of Greater Sacramento, another of Old Bill's retirement passions.
