Book Description
This is an attempt to bring to life some of the memories of joys, hardships, and lessons learned from life in the 1930s and 1940s in the great nation, the United States of America. With the Depression and World Wars I and II came a need for people to care for each other in order to survive and to save and rebuild families and communities. Our family had extremely limited resources but extremely unlimited desires for a dignified lifestyle in the midst of those hardships. Family and friends were one and the same when it came to caring for each other. How blessed we would all be if the lessons learned back then were applied to our day-by-day lives today. Today, many neighbors are strangers to each other, and there seems to be a general disregard for the needs of others. Consequently, the government has been able to move in quickly to fill the gap at the expense of the dignity of the people of our great nation. Freedom is not without struggle and strife for life, liberty, and dignity. Thank you.

Book Description
How can one begin a worthwhile story without the immortal words Once upon a Time? My Once upon a Time is set in the 1940s and fabulous '50s, a time where our world was being redefined by a post-war economic boom, all the while remaining true to the universal and unchanging plights and endeavors of humanity that will forever remain untouched by the passage of generations. It is a story of my boyhood in Thomas, Oklahoma, from my earliest childhood memories all the way through high school graduation. And like my world at the time, my story both uniquely defines me and simultaneously reflects my mere commonality to all mankind. Shelley's poem -Ozymandias- implies that everyone and everything will ultimately be forgotten: -Nothing beside remains . . .- It is this espousal that should compel those of us who have stories to tell, and each of us does, to write them down, to pen them into timeless monuments to the past and heralds to the future before they escape into the mists of history. As we age, our treasured memories age with us . . . evolving into greater and greater historical and personal significance, but fading and calcifying as time marches on. Napoleon said that geography is destiny. I hope you'll find within these pages that mine was a blessed destiny . . . one each of us can find some relic to share in and relate to as I recount endearing times at home with my family, adventures with my brothers, and infamous school day escapades with my classmates who helped carry the 40s and 50s into the memories of our hearts.

Book Description
Memories of Yesterdays is a book containing 17 of my true life short stories, divided into four parts. Part I is titled The Early Years' and includes 6 stories which contain references to my memories of events that occurred in the 1930's or early 40's. The 1930's was a time when the country was suffering through a deep depression and with very high unemployment people had little money. Few could afford anything beyond the necessities of life. As a child growing up during this time period my problems were shared with my friends, who were all in the same situation. Faced with the strong childhood desire to have fun and entertain ourselves (without access to money) we developed many games and activities that required no cost. At that time there were few cars on the street so we usually had a clear space from curb to curb for our field of activity. Although all the happenings occurred over 70 years ago, I still remember them very clearly in my memory bank. The first story The World of Creative Imagination' tells of the necessity to be creative, and how imagination opens the door to many possibilities, and they both expand the brain for further and future intelligence. It Was Only Yesterday' and Broadway & 42nd Street' is my recollections of where I lived and grew up. Thanksgiving day in New York City was once a time for ragamuffins and Anything for Thanksgiving' explores what would happen on that day. At the ending of the baseball season in 1942 the NY Giants announced free admission to there last games - a double header against the Boston Braves - to anyone who brought 10 lbs of iron for the war effort. The story 10 lbs of Iron' describes our struggles in securing, and then carrying the iron to the Polo Grounds. The Car I Loved the Most' relates to my experiences with my first car, a 1931 Ford Model A Roadster, with a rumble seat, a crank, and only a four cylinder engine under the hood. Part II is titled Family Remembrances , and includes three stories which relate to my memories of raising a family of 7 children on Long Island in the 1960's and 70's.The first story Family Day mentions all the challenges and demands that each member of the family felt was competing for their time. I realized that it was important to set aside a specific period when all the members of the family would spend time together (with no other distractions) and enjoy an activity as a family. I called this period Family Day', and the story tells of places we would visit, games we would play, and the enjoyment we all experienced. Children often say and do things, that adults think are very amusing. I have accumulated a collection of these occurrences and present a number of them in the next story Cherish the Memories . The title of the last story in this part is a statement that most every parent has heard when starting on a days trip "Are We There Yet?". Children do not have a good concept of time and once a trip is started they expect to reach the ultimate destination in a very short period of time, also they may be cramped or bored. I have even heard the question asked before we exited our driveway. The book mentions some humorous comments that have followed the asking of the question. Part III is Adventures After Family Time' and includes five stories that describe true life experiences hiking, canoeing, and/or camping, in scenically rugged and beautiful remote locations. Hike To Havasu Canyon' tells of a 9 mile backpack hike that I took with three other family members into the Hualapai Indian Reservation, at the southwest end of the Grand Canyon. The homeland of the tribe is in beautiful Havasu Canyon where the waterfalls and pools are a blue-green color, and the high cliffs all around are red sandstone. The hike was very strenuous and involved a long twisting descent, but the joy of exploring for four days, i

Book Description
This little book is about a time which, to my regret, will never be seen again.I was born in 1939, which meant that my formative years occurred during the 1940s and 1950s. Things were so different then. I won't say that things were kinder and gentler, but I will say that I felt as free as a bird. It was a time when people relied on themselves and not the government.This is not a biography nor is it about world-changing events. My stories are about little things that have happened to me and members of my family. If you think about it, life is, primarily, made up of little things.
