The author invites you to hike up your knickers, sleeve wipe your nose and trot along with Bud Pugh and his "Depression Era" street urchins. You might spin tops, play Indian Ball, smoke corn silk, or swipe a melon from a street huckster.

About the Author
Mr. Roberts has had a sustained interest in children and their activities going far beyond those of his own childhood or those of his five "Boomer" kids. His childhood was split between Harrisburg, Pa. , Havre de Grace Md., and Lanster, Pa.
After serving in the U.S. Navy during the final stage of WWII, he received a B.S. in Education, and went on to teach for several years. He then joined the staff of RCA in Lancaster, Pa., while continuing his education at night. Mr. Roberts worked in a variety of engineering assignments at Marion, Indiana and Puerto Rico as well as Lancaster. He also fulfilled company commitments abroad in England, Germany, Italy and Soviet Union. During his tenure with the electronics giant, he took time away from work to sit on numerous educational boards and committees. Upon retirement from RCA, he was employed as an engineering consultant in The Peoples Republic of China.
The author now lives with his wife, Joan in the Gretna Springs Community of Lebanon County, Pa., where he devotes himself to reading, writing and painting. The author has previously written a book for the general public called "TREMOLO."
