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!

Vera Lynn - Auf Wiedersehn

We were at war with Germany, but this song we shared with our enemies....a song of such longing for those who lost their boyfriends and husbands, as they went off to war.  Women too, went to war, but they where not drafted, they volunteered and flew the supply planes across the Atlantic.  Women went to work!  Wow! women could go to work, I was amazed, at how the world was changing.    Our car factories switched to making tanks.  Our women turned out amazing numbers of B 52 bombers each week!
