Over the years I have collected very many short stories of the period and feel that they must not be lost in unrecorded history but should be preserved as a portrait of a magic and bygone era. l have included some short stories which are not “funny, crazy and weird” which relate to the same period and which are surely of interest, too. As a pictorial supplement l have added more than lOO photos and images from my personal collection in the section “Down Memory Lane” covering the period from the late l94Os to the l97Os. My wish is to share these images of the past with friends and with future generations who may be interested in this past. l have Written the book as a hobby and with no commercial aspect in mind.
