About the Book

We were children who grew up in the 1940s and reached adulthood in the 1950s. They were wonderful  times. As children we lay in our beds and dreamed of the joy, wonder and excitement to come in our lives…not realizing that we were already near them…

 

Life is what happens to us when we are waiting for fame, fortune, happiness and success…

 

We are all thousands of stories surrounded by friends and family…

 

Stories are the way we vicariously participate in the secret lives of others…
