No one over the age of 50 years would disagree that the "Greatest Generation" was that of our parents and what they had to endure year after year during the Great Depression of the 1930's, followed by back-to-back death and destruction from four years of world war. Yet, they managed to emerge victorious in all their endeavors to forge a better life for their children of the next generation, known as the "Baby Boomers". Our "boomer" generation has seen technological advances and produced advantages which we could have never possibly imagined just a few years ago. Despite all these modern miracles which all have occurred during the "boomer" years, we yearn for our growing up years which seem to be such a simpler time. This book is about the simpler days - a reflection about the fulfillment of life in a small Texas town, life in a bigger city, young love which generates older, more mature love, and, most assuredly, basketball - playing it, breathing it, and soaking it into our lives until it became apparent we couldn't get enough of it, but finally realizing there was more to life than that.
