Abstract
"There are times when I sit quietly and reflect on the past, and the memories come back like an old black-and-white film--grainy, simple, yet vivid. I've often been asked what it was like growing up in America during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. My brothers, children and grandchildren have posed questions about my childhood, curious about what life was like in an era so different from today. It feels important--urgent even--to share these stories, not just as a record, but as a window into a world that has nearly vanished. Thus, over the past few years, I jotted down a few memories to share." -- page 6
