You can find them all on http://eastoftheweb.com/cgi-bin/read_db.pl?genre=non-fict&search_field=classic&search_for=N&order_by=author_last,title&page=1&type_ind=stories. His narratives describe particular events during his childhood when he lived in an orphanage. The story I enjoyed reading the most was "Elvis Died at the Florida Barber" which you can zap your way to by going to: http://eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/ElvDie.shtml
Kiser wonders what Elvis has that he doesn't have. He decides to become just like Elvis by getting his haircut like his idol; however, just as the barber is about to cut his hair, the barber's manager informs that her barber shop does not give Elvis haircuts. Tears fall down his cheek as all his hair falls down to the floor. I liked the author's voice--because he was writing as an adult, but giving juvenile undertones.
