This is the story of a south Florida girl who lived almost a century within an area of Florida that reaches from the sandy shores of the Atlantic to the shadowy rim of the Everglades. Callie Rousseau Brown has lived through 98 years of change in the town she grew up in and in the world beyond that town. "I think the word change is the suitable word to describe the patterns of my life," The book details life in the first three decades of the last wood stoves, wild rides on the beach, home remedies, small schools. Beyond that it's the story of a 38-year teaching career and the love of a far-flung family. Callie says in this book. Both the town and the woman have proven change indeed can be good. Eugene Glick is Indianapolis' greatest modern philanthropist. Along with his wife Marilyn, he has endowed at least thirty major cultural and educational institutions in Indiana from the Indiana Historical Society to Junior Achievement.
