Kids We Were

This book is simply a collection of childhood
memories, all carefully gleaned from family and
friends, from all walks of life, and as wide a circle as
possible. All stories are true, insofar as memory
permits. All contributors are real and were born in
the 20th century.
Their ages range from 16 to 87 at the time of telling.
Years of birth range from 1906 to 1990. All have been
cajoled, prompted, and edited by me.
In some cases, where I received verbal recall, I have
edited out most of the strong language. In others,
where such expression is relatively mild, I have left it
in, so as to keep the natural voice of the storyteller.
This is not a children¿s book, although older children
might find it enlightening to learn about the
childhood of their parents and grandparents and
even great-grandparents in the ages before mobile
phones and computers.
