Child Of The Fifties

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When I bought my first computer in 1987 and learned to use Wordperfect, and later Word, I discovered that I loved to write and began composing remembrances of days of yore. Over the years since then, I often wrote about events in my life, and friends and relatives. I eventually decided to collect all of these writings, edit them, and assemble them into one document that ended up being over 1,000 pages long. I have collected all these writings into four volumes. The first, Child Of The Fifties 1944 – 1967, is a collection of memoirs recalling some of my favorite experiences from those more user friendly, earlier times. If Ignorance Is Bliss, I must Have Been Ecstatic recalls a wild and wacky period of my life from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1961. Sailin’ Through The Sixties recounts my teenage years from 1961 until graduating from College in 1967 in my early twenties. In 70s and Onward, I am an adult, less ignorant, but still full of bliss and ecstatic. Go figure!
