Overview

The idea for writing this book has been evolving for sometime. By the time I was a young man in the Eighties it became apparent that most children no longer roamed the streets and back alleys creating their own fun. I began to understand that life had changed rapidly, and the many things we did as kids were no longer part of growing up. I wondered if these games and activities would someday be forgotten. This raised a question. Had anyone ever recorded these pastimes so they would be remembered? I finally decided to go a head and give it a try. What you are about to read is one person's account of those games and that place in time. enthusiasm for this project helped to drive me onward. My passion for my wonderful childhood has given me a great desire to share these memories and preserve them in the writing of this book.
