The idea for writing this book has been evolving for sometime. By the time I was a young man in the Eighties it became apparent that most children no longer roamed the streets and back alleys creating their own fun.

Their enthusiasm for this project helped to drive me onward. My passion for my wonderful childhood has given me a great desire to share these memories and preserve them in the writing of this book.
