Note to the Reader
Please keep in mind that this work was produced and published in 1961. Although it has now been republished, many of the references are still to a Sebring as was known in the 1960’s. Much of the story reads as if told in person, and unless noted in the text, that person is Allen C. Altvater (Sr.).
