Hello,I'm old and forgetful. I very much enjoy all the gay story sites on the web and especially this one. About once every six months I usually come across an old story (usually a very long one) that I've read before and enjoy re-reading it.There are two that I would love to read again but have lost track of. (Can't even remember their titles or authors . . . . or which site!) They are described below. If you can recognise either or both and point me in the right direction I will be most grateful.
1st forgotten story:Main character is a guy known as "Coach". He teaches in a US High School (possibly History) and has his arm twisted to be coach to the soccer team.
He lives in a farm outside the small town and gradually fosters and/or adopts boys who are homeless or unloved because they are gay.
The soccer team begins to thrive under his leadership and the boys often head out to his farm to have barbecues and skinny-dip in his pool.
Coach had inherited a small fortune when his father had died. His one, much-older brother died soon after and Coach took in his teenage nephew.
All the boys were known as "Coach's Cubs".
Another prominent character is Donnie Michaud (sp?) who is a mechanic at the local garage. Donnie has two small boys and Coach helps him financially and takes the three of them in when Donnie's wife disappears.
There's another, more recent, linked story to this one when most of the boys have been to Uni . . .Coach's nephew comes back to the area for some reason and begins teaching in the same school. Then a local guy who is a Forest/wildlife Ranger gets his teenage son sent to him from his estranged wife who has just discovered that her son is gay. Father and son end up living with Coach's nephew as their cottage gets burnt down.2nd forgotten story:Young man in his late teens or early twenties . . . well brought-up but has become almost penniless and has contemplated suicide.
Out of the blue he gets a letter from a firm of solicitors.
The name of the solicitors is something like "Winterbottom, Winterbottom and Winterbottom" ( it's not Winterbottom but it's three names and all are the same).
He is asked in the letter to turn up for an appointment and it is with the SENIOR "Mr Winterbottom" that he has to deal.
He has been left money and a huge house in his Great-Uncle's will.
He had been vaguely aware that the Great Uncle had existed but had no idea that the man had followed his progress through life and knew how to get in touch with him. I think it was because both were gay.
