Introduction

This is a collection of stories that chronicle a sometimes side-splitting childhoodmine. I thought the episodic approach was the best way to tell the account. A boys life has no path to follow. Kids wake up each day and live that day.

Scope and Setting

The vignettes spans ten years, from approximately 1938 to 1948, and the locales are Brooklyn, New York and Bellflower, California.

Author's Approach

I have changed some names, tried to make the stories interesting, clear, honest and easy to follow. The book is a series of little packages. The reader can begin anywhere.
