I grew up in Seattle, in an area called "West Seattle" there were
four other boys my same age in the neighborhood. We became the best of
friends and shared many experience and adventures as teenagers in the
50's. The stories I have written are part of those adventures we shared.
I'm 60 years old, four years ago, I got back into building hot
rods. With the Summit racing catalog in hand, I ordered all the neat stuff for
my engine; it was such a change from the days of scrounging around in
wrecking yards. I joined a car club, and enjoy going on hamburger cruise and
car shows.
Rewind the 50's, keep's the memories of a special time in American
history alive, and a resource for a younger generation. Share your
adventures of the 50's with us, submit your stories, history is made up
of experiences of the people who lived it.
