Endings

Did you attend Mirabeau Lamar High School in Houston in the 1960s? Did you get there by way of Sidney Lanier Jr. Hi? Montrose Elementary School? Dunlavy maybe?

Did you see the kiddee matinees at the Alabama Theater? Watch Kitirik and Cadet Don? Swim in Crystal Pool? Go to Playland Park?

Did you join the Children of the Confederacy?

Your grandparents maybe?

Do you live in Montrose? Want to know what it was like 70 years ago?

The story of growing up white in Jim Crow Houston in the 1950s. Everything, the toys, the schools, the movies and TV shows, the games, staying out till the streetlights came on.

And the terrors, Hurricane Carla, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the 'chain in' at Woolworths.

A factual novel you will recognize if you were there, or need to meet if you weren't. All the places we went to and loved, or were maybe not allowed to go because of race.

Plus a lot of Texas history and a side trip to Disneyland in 1959. Can you handle the truth?
