Description

For Charles Champlin, formerly a writer-correspondent for Time and Life magazines and since 1965 an editor and columnist for the Los Angeles Times, his "other time" was the nineteen-thirties. His "other place," where he was born and spent his boyhood and early adolescence, was the lovely Finger Lakes village of Hammondsport in western New York State. Its population was, and is, 1,200, and it was a fine place to grow Keuka Lake to swim in, band concerts in the park on Saturday nights, wagonloads of grapes rumbling through town to the wineries, which continue to make fine champagnes and wines. Glenn Hammond Curtiss manufactured airplanes there in the early years of the century, and in the thirties you could watch planes practice looping the loop on summer afternoons. Over the years, Champlin's reminiscences about Hammondsport in his newspaper columns have evoked warm response. Readers who grew up thousands of miles from Steuben County, New York, say they find echoes of their own times and their own places in his tales of home. INSCRIBED by the author to an author on the FFEP"For Dean Smith - To a fellow writer with admiration and warm regards, Charles Champlin"
