ALL ABOARD - Tecno-Libro

The writing of these stories, strung together as chapters but really imagined independently, took me over. i couldn t wait to sit at my computer each night, write, and read the results to Sue, my wife (i should say Grandma Sue). . i . . . realized it would make sense to complete . . . as a book that i could give to [my grandson] Alexander. . . . i was successful in doing that. The stories are about him and me, but they are also about myself as a child, and my past and present family, as seen through my eyes. They are a blend of invention and recalled facts. The decision to make Kenny and Benny eight, going on nine, was spontaneous, and . . . a good idea . . . because . . . older children might have more opportunities for adventure than younger children.
