For several decades, baby boomer Randy Durich has been sharing, with anyone who listen, vignettes and stories of his years growing up in the Italian neighborhood of Allentown, Pennsylvania, during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. When he realized friends and family were frequently saying tell the one about and you should write a book, he decided it was time to put pen to paper. His memories of long ago rose to the surface and beckoned to be released. For those who welcome an escape to a more innocent, less-complicated time, this collection of stories and the true characters that make them are sure to entertain. Here are the lovely peaks of his journey to a destination still awaiting definition.
