About this ebook

In the decade following World War II, the time of the Baby Boomers, life was much different than today for the children growing up. There was almost unlimited freedom for kids. They could go out and play without parental supervision. “Be home for lunch!” or “Be home by ten!” was often the only restrictions they had during the summer or weekends during the school year. It didn’t matter if they lived in small towns in the Midwest, the cities of the east coast, or on military bases in the United States or Europe. They had plenty of friends to play with and the dangers of drugs or abduction wasn’t even on their radar. The biggest fear of the day was whether or not the commies would release the A-Bomb on American cities. Rock ’n’ Roll was taking over the sound waves and baseball was the national pastime. It was a great time to be alive.
Europe was rebuilding after the war and the United States had a huge presence in Europe, especially in Germany. Growing up on military bases during the ’50s and ’60s left the door wide open for adventures and hijinks on a grand scale. Army Brats is a story of a young boy growing up as a military dependent during that time.

Author

Michael G. Cerepanya

Michael G. Cerepanya was born in Western Pennsylvania. He spent most of his early childhood as a military dependent, living on various U.S. Army forts in Germany and the United States. After his father retired from the Army the family moved back to Pennsylvania for a short period before relocating in Tucson, Arizona.A desert rat from the first time he stepped foot in Arizona, Michael has had a passion for hiking and climbing the mountains of Arizona, as well as a passion for almost all outdoor sports. After serving two years in the Army from 1969-1971 he spent time traveling around the country, both hitchhiking and traveling in various vehicles from a VW Bus to a pickup truck. During these travels he landed on Cape Cod, Massachusetts where he lived for a year and a half. His wife, Cheryl, is from the Cape and although their main home is in Southern Arizona, they maintain a second home on the Cape and spend as much time as possible there.Michael always had a passion for telling a good story and writing. His hope is that his first book, Army Brats, (and future books) will be as much fun for the reader as it was for him to write it.
