Memories of a Time Gone by: A true story of a child growing up in the 1960's (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798348399535)

Well, my life started in a town called Taunton, which is located 50 miles outside of Boston Massachusetts. It was not a small sleepy town like many stories are written about. It was an average town of 40,000 people at the time. That is at the most. It was at least 75% Portuguese like myself. All the immigrants of all nationalities came from their old country and migrated together. They felt safe and comfortable with each other. They helped each other to start a new life in America. It is not quite the same today. Taunton had all kinds of small mom-and-pop stores and gas stations spread around town. They also had all the neighborhood's small schools as well. All the kids walked to school back then. Each morning the streets were flooded with kids. The smallest schools are all gone today. They also had ballparks in different parts of town. My favorite was a Little League ballpark called Westside as you will see.
