Childhood Remembered: The War Years and Beyond

Childhood Remembered – The War Years and Beyond is a collection of stories from the author’s childhood growing up in Washington, D.C. from the mid-1930s through the 1950s, a time of innocence and naivete that is very different from the pseudo-sophisticated world of today. There is intrigue, historical detective work and mystery as the author uncovers some of his mother’s and stepfather’s secrets.

The origin of this memoir was a series of “Grandpa Stories” told to his young grandsons at bedtime that proved more interesting to them than the traditional bedtime stories told to children because they were real stories about the boyhood of their grandfather.  After the young boys were past the age when their grandfather read them stories in bed when he was visiting them he concluded that these stories should be expanded and retold as autobiography and social history for anyone interested in an era long gone.
