being a young lad in the '20s...riding my bike down country roads and fishing in the creek, going to ball games with my dad, who travels around central Ohio in a Ford Model T selling liniment...my older brother contracting polio...growing up...Bing Crosby records on the Victorola...enlisting to fight the japs...Bataan...my best friend Tony dying of typhus...GI bill...marrying my high school sweetheart...my lazy baby boomer children with their rock and roll nonsense
