Like most boys, Dave and Jack were always looking for ways to amuse themselves. In this story, follow the two boys on a beautiful summer morning in 1939 in their rural community as they are planning to spend the day swimming in the river. That is, until they suddenly stumble across an idea. See how they use their innovative minds to construct the biggest slingshot they could have ever imagined and see what the outcome will be from their inventive designA few years ago, my good friend, Dave Palmer told me an account of one of his childhood experiences. It is that tale of his past that inspired me to write this short story. I first met Dave, and his wife Nancy, in 1991 while working in Little Rock, Arkansas for an aircraft modification center. That’s when I learned about his career working in the aircraft and missile industry as a designer and technical illustrator/writer in Michigan, California and finally in Little Rock, Arkansas where he retired from Raytheon in 1993. lthough, thirty years my senior, Dave’s youthful and outgoing personality always gave him the appearance of one much younger. We quickly found that we had many common interests and became good friends. For me, it has been a blessing to not only have had the opportunity to know him as a co-worker, but also as one of my best friends. I do miss those times we had together, but I am so thankful for all of the great memories.After his passing, I decided to put pin-to-paper and make Dave’s recollection of the ‘Apple Orchard Slingshot’ into a fun story that can be shared with the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I had writing it.Thank you for downloading this free eBook.
