Within the pages of this work is documented a short story collection of baby boomer beginnings, the noir allure of the mid to late fifties, and retro tales of a disappearing era. Reflections on where the boomers have been, where they are, what’s changed, and what’s new. The recipe calls for a smidgen of “feel good,” a pinch of “unforgettable times”, and sprinkles of “melancholy,” all measured in nostalgia.
