Americans love stories, especially little children. Well, this is my story. It's all about a young boy growing up in the forties and early fifties. This boy is between the ages of six to fifteen. He wants to tell people today what he remembers about growing up during that time. The people are real, the places are real, and the stories are real. I know they are because I am that little boy. I sincerely hope that you enjoy the trip back in time as much as I have enjoyed writing about it.
