music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

WORLD WAR 2, pre-baby boomer generation

Did you ever wonder what it was like to grow up during the 2nd World War, and how did it affect the children who did?  There are hidden scars.  These children hold a different view of life, than the children who grew up in the baby boom years.  What made the difference?  The view is there in my book, Secrets of the Heart. 

We were affected by the war, though we never had bombs dropped on us in the United States!  We saw, we listened, and we read the newspaper as children.  We were scared for our own lives, and those of our relatives who went to war, possibly never to come home again.
