Stump's Stories

Welcome to Stump’s stories. I began writing these stories in 2006 for my grandkids. Currently, my grandkids all live in the digital world, and this site allows me to provide them better access to my stories. This site is also in response to close friends who have encouraged me to publish my stories.

The stories are about my experiences on the journey of life and stories I heard from my dad about his growing up on an Iowa farm in the 1920s and 1930s. I hope you enjoy reading them and they bring back memories. I also hope they will encourage you to share your stories with your grandkids and great-grandkids. Remember, a poorly written story is better than no story. Many of us are a lot closer to the end of our story than we are to the beginning, so don’t procrastinate. Your grandkids will appreciate it. Share your story.
