“Terry Young has an amazing knack for being in the right place at the right time. He is a dogged reporter, a keen-eyed observer, and a walking compendium of 20th-century history in Texas, much of which he witnessed. His memoir is living history by a man who, quite literally, lived it.”  — Pulitzer Finalist S.C. Gwynne, Author of New York Times Bestsellers 'Empire of the Summer Moon' and 'Rebel Yell.' "Terry Young can regale you about the historic fabric of Texas business, news and politics...because he was alongside the key content creators. Behind every great influencer, there always is a savvy, trustworthy, nimble and gifted PR executive. — Chris Plonsky, University of Texas Women’s Athletic Director and Past President of National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Somehow, Texas journalist Terry Young always found himself right in the middle of the action. Whether it was dodging bullets on the UT Campus in 1966, talking football with Coach Darrell Royal, inclusion in the Warren Commission investigation for his coverage of the JFK assassination, working a presidential campaign alongside a young George W. Bush, sharing a backstage laugh with Bob Hope, or running away with the circus, Young has never found himself at a loss for inspiration. In Stop the Train! Young takes us on the ride of his life. Yo-yo champion? Yes. Pitching for the women featured in the movie “A League of Their Own?” True. Having lunch at the home of Las Vegas illusionists Siegfried & Roy? You bet. Frisked by the Secret Service at a church service? Of course. Young lived through it all, reporting on many of the best (and worst) events while he was at it.
