It ain't like it was in the good old days--no, it never was by Jack McGiffin.
These recollections by the author began in 1970 at his home on the Ortega River as he thought of what he would leave behind for his grandchildren. The short pieces he wrote appeared in the Jacksonville Seafarer magazine and his column became the most popular feature of the magazine.
