My Tales Growing Up In Long Beach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781799070085)

This book contains my stories about growing up in the 1950s, '60s and '70s in Long Beach, California. It begins with an idyllic childhood playing cowboys and Indians, trading baseball cards and staying outside until the streetlights came on. We had the "Milkman," the "Donut Man" and the "Ice Cream Man."Having a large park across the street and many kids my age in the neighborhood, it was perfect for playing sports: football, basketball and my favorite, baseball.As I become a teenager my life takes a turn. I discover cars, girls and the secret of having an alcoholic parent.The stories in this book follow the culture of our time. We had our first jobs, spent time with our friends at the Towne and Crest theaters, worked on our cars, went to dances, listened to great music and spent hours on the baseball diamond.Each chapter is an individual story from the memory and events of my youth that will hopefully reconnect you to your own childhood.
