Produktbeschreibung
This book is about the times of growing up in the fifties as a baby boomer, living on a farm, and then moving to town, becoming a teenager, witnessing the growing pains of post-WWII America, and the turbulence of the Vietnam War and its consequences on American society. This book has romance and adventure, from cruising around town to actual accounts of the things that happened during that era that have diminished over time-sock hops, car hops, the county fair, the beginning of Rock N Roll from Elvis to the British Invasion, to men landing on the moon, to Americas march to the new drumbeat for freedom and equality for all, and the street drag racing scene of teenage America. This book puts the spotlight on the late sixties, which were the times that I call magical.

Autorenporträt
I grew up in Western North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Mountains. True events of my exciting life, what I call "growing up in the fast lane," with adventure, romance and street drag racing qualifies me to tell the story to people who actually experienced those times as I did and to new generations about those magical times in the 1960's. Even though time has marched along and big changes have come for me and America, I can never forget growing up barefoot with the dirt between my toes, the smell of cotton-candy at the county fair, fried chicken on Sunday, home-made ice cream or cutting into a cold watermelon with the family. I'm a lifelong native of the county I was born in. These are the things that made me who I am today, and the reason I wish to share them.
