You can leave your hometown—but some places never leave you.
In I Think I'm Goin' Back, Michael O. Sajbel returns to Wausau, Wisconsin—not just to write about the expansion of its hospital, but to reconnect with the people, memories, and spirit that shaped his life. What begins as a writing assignment becomes a moving reflection on small-town America in the early 1970s, a time of quiet revolutions in medicine, community, and culture.
Through interviews with doctors, nurses, volunteers, and local leaders, Sajbel captures a portrait of a city in transition—one where medical miracles and personal revelations unfold side by side. Woven throughout is the author's own journey: the push and pull of home, the tenderness of memory, and the lasting imprint of those who quietly make history.
With warmth, wit, and a deep affection for the people of Wausau, this memoir invites readers to consider what it really means to go back—and what we find when we do.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. I Think 'm Goin Back follows Michael O. Sajbel as he returns to Wausau, Wisconsin, after many long, forgotten years. What begins as a tentative visit for a class reunion becomes a reconnection with the people, memories, and spirit that shaped his life. There's a reverence for lifelong friendships and the singular rollicking love of a quintessential Catholic family during Cold War America. But somehow, all of this is accomplished not with saccharine nostalgia, but with the closeup of a filmmaker, transporting us to a time long gone.Sajbel brings to mind the immediacy of movies like Stand by Me, the wry anecdotes of Mark Twain, and the cocksure prose of J. D. Salinger. With warmth, wit, and a deep affection for the people of Wausau, this memoir invites readers to consider what it really means to go back--and what we find when we do.
