About the Author
Thomas M. Kruger was born in Peirceton, Indiana in the year of 1937. Right after he was born, the family moved to Seymour, Indiana, and he lived there for the first ten years of his life. Then, in 1947, they moved to North Webster, Indiana. Kruger's dad bought four and a half acres on the east side of Webster Lake. The author's granddad lived just down the road and, every year, his parents would bring the family to his granddad's home for a two week vacation.
Moving back to this area was a dream come true for this ten-year-old boy. It was a paradise filled with adventure. He hunted Indian arrow heads in the freshly plowed fields, he had rabbit dogs and bird dogs, and he became a hunter to help put meat on the table. He trapped muskrats to make money to buy shells. He liked to fish, especially fly fish.
