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!

The Best Love Songs of the 40s

Meggie in "Secrets of the Heart ," remembers these songs of the Great War, when our able bodied men left to go to war.  It was a sad time in America!  Let's remember this forever, let's remember the culture that got behind the men that left, to keep our country safe, and  bomb free!.  They always knew we supported them, we went to work in parachute factories, our car manufacturers switched to making tanks.  Rubber, meat and other commodities were needed by the war effort, food stamps rationed us, while practice air raids scared us!   Some of you may remember wrapping bandages to send to the front!  Come with Meggie into the war years in the small town of Framingham, Mass.  Learn what children thought of the war, and how it affected them as they grew to adults.  A timeless look at a period of time in America that is lost forever in the mists of the past.
