MOONSHINE MEMORIES

by Fred Funk

Overview

More than forty years have passed since Matt and Beth Reynolds lived in the small East Texas town of Pruett, where he served as pastor of the Methodist church, and where they got an eye-opening education about human nature. Some of those lessons resulted in lifelong friendships, and others became the stuff of nightmares---quite literally, in Matt's case. As a homecoming celebration at the old church approaches, Matt relives in his dreams one of the most harrowing experiences of his life during that time: the murder of a troublesome moonshiner and the conviction for that crime of a man Matt had looked upon as good friend.
Convinced that there was more to the story, Matt and Beth take the occasion of the homecoming to ask questions of the surviving cast of characters in hopes of finding out the truth and stopping the nightmares. What they discover only raises more questions, as they learn how much their friends and fellow citizens had withheld from them by "looking out for their own". . . and how both the victim and the convicted murderer, like most of the peculiar folks in Pruett, were not who they seemed to be.

About the Author

FRED L. FUNK was born and raised in North Texas near Denton. He attended what is now the University of North Texas, but transferred to East Texas State College to pursue a pre-theology degree. While attending ETSC, he pastored several Methodist churches in North and East Texas as a supply pastor. He later switched careers to accounting and finance, and worked for a national retail furniture chain for thirty-five years.
Now retired, Fred is an active member and former president of the Denton Noon Kiwanis Club and a Past Lieutenant Governor of the Texas-Oklahoma District of Kiwanis International. When he filled in at the last minute one day for a speaker who didn’t show up, he told some tales from his preaching days. The response was very favorable, and members of the club encouraged him by saying, “You ought to write a book!” So he did. Then he wrote another, and another. And he is working on yet another. Once he got started, he just can’t stop.
He and his wife, Dana, have been married more than fifty years. They have two daughters and a son, seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
