    Life At Macamya Bay
    Author

    David Huffman

    I was born in 1949, a "Baby Boomer." Raised near the small town of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania I enjoyed a quiet, uneventful childhood that was fairly typical for those days. My favorite past-times were riding bicycles with my close friends and occasional outings with my parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Times were good.
