PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY, a reminiscence…
    

Before James Nichols set out on his renowned excursion into creating UFO art, he faced a life-changing encounter that triggered his original inspiration to pursue a career as an artist. He now shares that tale in a new book entitled, Persistence of Memory…

Here is a classic ‘Baby-Boomer’ time-warp back to the ‘good-old-days’ of the super Sixties in a bittersweet reminiscence of a teen-age boy’s all-important… First Love!
   

This saga recalls how a shy, naïve, seventeen year-old, lad’s rustic boyhood passions for fishing and ice hockey are unexpectedly upstaged by a chance encounter with a charming girl he meets at his summer stock-boy job.  Steeped in provincial, small town sensibilities, he finds himself swept away into a youthful infatuation—an ardent pursuit of his darling ‘soul-mate’–that evolves into an odyssey of self-discovery full of joy and tears.
   

 Our Romeo finds that not even the thrill of skating alongside the likes of legendary ice hockey immortal Gordie Howe can compete with the dazzling brunette lass who’s turned his head.  
  

Persistence of Memory is a tender, coming-of-age drama set during the turbulent Sixties, where youthful idealism inexorably conflicts with adult values of the Vietnam War era.  It recalls a slice of vanished Americana when both personal and national innocence were lost.  And, yet this touching little story reveals how a random romantic encounter can profoundly color one’s entire life.
