Young enough to be a son of the "Greatest Generation" yet too old to be a "Baby Boomer", the boy grew up in the 1940s and '50s in a small rural town on Long Island. In a four-volume series he presents his memoirs as little time capsules, set in the context of their happening, unembellished, for the most part, by later events or other accounts. In this volume, the second in the series, the boy recalls some of the influences of his nurturing ... the schools he went to, the jobs he worked at, the vehicles that were more than just a means of transportation. From the two-room schoolhouse to Old '88 to the brand new Sayville High, his mind was stretched and filled to overflowing. From clam digger to caddy, clerk to carpenter, he earned the money to buy things, and learned the ways of the world. From his first bike to the Studebakers to Black Beauty and the Gray Ghost, his wheels carried him from here to there, from boy to man.
