When Kids Were Allowed to Be Kids, Vol. 1 Gary Schoolcraft

All of the following stories were written about actual events that happened in my life while growing up in the small Vermont town of Peacham. I realize time has a way of changing some of the minor details but the overall picture will remain unchanged. I have written all of these stories as I remember them happening or in some instances as they were told to me. There is no order in which these stories appear; I write them as they return to my memory. So with that being said, please keep in mind, one store may be about a time when I was very young and the next about my teenage years. Also, in some of the stories, the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Please take a few minutes to make yourself comfortable and let the following pages take you back in time. Back to a time different than the one we have now, a time before electronic games took over kid's lives. A time when kids were not only allowed to make up games they wanted to play but also the rules. It was also a time when kids had to make the things they wanted to play with...... I truly hope you enjoy reading about life during the late fifties and all through the sixties as much as I enjoyed living them.
