Castle Park
Sam Hair
For anyone who has ever had a special place where childhood vacations were spent, Castle Park will gently evoke memories of summers past. Now in his eighties, Sam Hair looks back on his life and summer memories. His recollections begin as a boy when he and his family spent their summers at a Michigan resort called Castle Park. He would return for the next half century and experience rites of passage: learning to swim in nearby lakes, hitching rides on a rakish waiter's roadster, and getting drunk for the first time. Grounded in the comfort of rural life, Hair became a park ranger in Colorado during his summers between study at the University of Chicago. A joyous book, Castle Park is told with gentle wit and much compassion.
Bio: SAM HAIR has spent much of his professional life working as an entrepreneurial businessman. He lives in North Carolina, where he has raised four daughter with his wife, Elisabeth.
