FREDERICK RYCROFT retired from the State University of New York at Canton, where he was employed for thirty-five years, last holding the position of Director of Facilities. He and his wife still reside in Canton, New York where they have both spent there entire lives. He enjoys the company of his three children and ten grandchildren. This is his first work of fiction, inspired by the need to share the uniqueness of life in a small rural town in the northern part of New York State.

“Some of the characters are based loosely on people from the community of Canton,” Rycroft said. “Even though it is a work of fiction, all of the history is well researched and includes the local color of the late ’50s in our community.”

Rycroft’s book tells the tale of the adventures, and misadventures, of teenagers who became friends in 1957 in a small Northern New York town. It includes narrative descriptions of how the Village of Canton looked and felt. Former popular venues including Billy’s Restaurant, the Hotel Harrington and the Miss Canton Diner, are all described or alluded to in his work.
