Through the process of writing these two books, something struck me? I wrote about a lot of things, but more than anything I wrote about my generation. I grew up night in the middle of it! L.A., in the 70's and 80's. Latch-Key kid.

I was a kid, like 14 or 15, and it was Christmas dinner. My uncle John Wortmann and I are talking. He says, no one seems to know about his generation. Like who is Sonja Henie? I said she won the 1936 Olympic gold medal in figure skating and later, became a famous actress. Nice Mark. The other day, I was talking to a group of people from this generation. I asked if they knew who Carl Lewis is? Most didn't like, the most decorated track and field star in Olympic History (9 gold medals). My mother told me that fashion goes around every 3 generations. The kids are wearing, baggy jeans. OMG, my timing is spot on. That is why, I wrote those books I have great stories of the people and places that defined it.
