I enjoyed this view of Gloucester in the 1950s and thereabouts, and what it was like for a boy growing up on the island.

[Maryann Winship]

Peter grew up in the same neighborhood where my mom grew up she was eight years older.

His childhood was during World War II before there was a 128 bridge connecting the rest of Gloucester.

He reminded me of how downtown Gloucester was when I was growing up with Woolworth's, Sterlings, Browns, and the other stores.

He had some of the same teachers I had in school growing up even thought I am a lot younger than him

I liked it. A compilation of memoir stories written by a man who grew up in Gloucester, Mass. Funny "boy" stories.
