"MY FATHER'S HOUSE"

 CLOVIS POET AND AUTHOR, BOBBIE BOLTON BURNETT




Bobbie Bolton Burnett, Clovis High School, 1959, has
recently written a most interesting and compelling 
autobiography. 

She is also an accomplished poet. We posted one of
her fine poems a few weeks ago, and were happy to   
have a CHS '59 writer to go with a number of CHS '50, 
CHS '51, CHS '53 writers on MIL'S.

Bobbie, a "PK," (preacher's kid), moved to Clovis in 1952
when her father, Clovis Bolton, became pastor of the
Christian Church at 5th and Mitchell.

When reading her book, with its adventures of her
teen-age growing-up years in Clovis...and on through 
her exciting life, I couldn't put it down.

It is true that "No grass ever grows under her feet!" She 
was/is  always intensely involved in life!

A  skilled writer, the sentences flow smoothly
and rapidly as one becomes engrossed in her book.

Bobbie is also a pianist, singer, actress, drama-producer,
radio host, and, as mentioned---a poet!

Her book tells stories of friends, family, Thanksgiving dinners,
homey Christmases, old-home-week type stories...that will make
you love this memoir!

If you, as I,  love everything "Alaskan," you will be 
caught up---as Bobbie lived in Alaska a  number of
times! (Even in an "igloo" once---the former North Pole 
Post Office building; she also lived in a log cabin.)

Her autobiography spares none of the bumps in the 
road, of one kind or another, that we all face...on this
journey through life.

The attractive cover was styled by her son, Chris, and
the book is absolutely full of a lifetime of photos.

A nice bonus: at the end of each chapter is a POEM, by 
Bobbie!
