Having grown up in a small town and later telling stories about youthful occurrences during that time, only fueled the author's need to eventually write some of them down. Many everyday people write their memoirs. This book is no different; and it could be said that this collection of short stories or "vignettes" put together are with humor, matter-of-factness and honesty. Without much coaxing, the reader is led down Bedford Street through the many tales along the way. Whether it's an unforgettable Christmas, being caught in a lie, getting the first bicycle or meeting one's first girlfriend...it's an easy trip. And one that may unassumingly reveal some friendly counsel or direction for youngsters growing up...no matter where they live. 5/9/2011
