Stories of a Military Policeman: A Boy from the South Side of Town

The story begins on the south side of Chicago. It is a quiet neighborhood with mostly wooden framed houses built in the early 1900's.

There are some brick houses, which were built in the early 1960's.

I lived in one of those wooden framed two -story house.

It had a hedge around the front with two evergreens behind it. The boys from the south side of town included Tom, Dan, Ron, and me.

Me, I'm Bob, I came from a family of seven. The seven of us included my two brothers; one older one younger, my two younger sisters, my parent, and me.

I'll be your narrator throughout the book. I was a slender boy, with brownish-black hair that I wore in a regular haircut.
