Growing up in the 1960s in small-town America had its charms for the Baby Boomer generation, and you can't get much more small-town than Ashland, in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. In Growin' Up Skoo k, Baby Boomer author Thomas M. Malafarina provides personal and humorous anecdotes about growing up in "the Skook" that anyone who grew up in a small town in the '60s can relate to and everyone can enjoy.
