Trapped by a Mouse

Memoir depends on recollection-not only the particulars of experience, but the emotions, reflections, and even the daydreams elicited. Bob Zumwalt uses memory and imagination to tell the poignant, the fanciful, and the humorous moments of his life. From a bashful young lad in small town Central Texas to world-traveling chemical engineer, Zumwalt shares the rich, (and sometimes pathetic) events of his life with a homespun quirkiness that leaves the reader wondering: Is that fact or fiction? The forty-five stories in this collection cover growing up, dealing with girls, getting married, working in the global petroleum industry, traveling, and retirement.
