In the summer of 1942 there was no war in Kenton, only a long progress of sunny days good for the cornfields of Royal County, good for sweltering afternoons of tennis and then a plunge into Long Lake. The boys of Kenton roamed the summer streets, tasting the bubbles of hot tar in the pavement, slivers of ice in the splintered oak bed of the ice truck, the stem-ends of grass. ...
