The Boys of Flushing - Gene Rackovitch - Bog

A life lived in Queens New York doesn't seem very interesting to most, but to those who lived it, it was a great experience. Some may say that the boys of that day were near lost to society. We did things that would turn the hair gray of our parents if they knew what we were up to at that young age. I would like to say that through it all somehow we or mostly all I write about became stellar citizens. The shady aspect of my personal existence was put under control by my Drill Instructor in the Marine Corps. I show you in the Boys of Flushing how even beside all the craziness that we participated in' we ended up better than most. Maybe not totally stellar, but we carried with us the pride of our neighborhood through sports. I hope reading about us gives you some pleasure as much as it does for us in our memories.
