1 The stories of Lynn Lauber, LSH class of ‘70
White Girls (1990) as Web Text on Amazon; B & N in Libraries

|
Lynn’s books are poignant stories of the 1960’s, with Lima disguised
as "Union, Ohio", and familiar citizens similarly
camouflaged. But you'll still recognize everybody, including many
from Lima Senior -- even from our class! |

Dr. Emmett Murray is an inveterate story-teller about grand old times
in Lima. Many of his stories relate the experience of attending Horace Mann
school and then Lima Central in the 1930’s. His most popular story is
“What I Learned from a Boyhood Chum.” Read his tale, “A Saturday Night
in the 1930’s, Lima Style” to get a flavor of the book. He is also posting
stories that were written since his original book on a website. |

“Like
a Lampshade in a Whorehouse” (2005)

Phyllis writes extensively about growing up in downtown Lima and

poor Gayle Howie . . . ). |

Includes stories about people in
Lima during WWII.

Unauthorized Lima -- Mick: Back When (2003),
by Harry Grigsby
|
When you’ve tired of respectability, have a look at this very unvarnished autobiography of life as she was lived in
Lima by a rough-and-tumble guy who definitely did it “his way.” His
activities were not always legal, moral or for a queasy stomach. The book can
only be described as “raunchy,” so consider yourself
warned. Available at Lima Public Library, or send $25
to the author at 27951 159 Ct., Homestead FL 33031 -- (305) 246-0790. Some
sides of life in Lima that probably only those in the courthouse really knew,
or needed to. |
