Excerpt from A Knight in Homespun It seems off, doesn't it, to you, dear reader, to begin reading a book starting with the winding up? But, then, you must remember that I am the family clock, and that did I not begin with the winding up, there would be no tale told. Yes, I am the old family clock. I recall very well the first time I was set up in the wide hallway of the old family homestead of the Boosch family - Dr. Henry Boosch of the original pioneers of that name who settled in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, in the early fifties. My, how they all stood around me and watched my hands move and my pendulum swing away the fleeting moments! What an innovation I was in the old homestead that had known naught but the sun dial and the marks on the porch uprights to indicate the hours of the day when the sun shone.
