    About this ebook

    There must be something in our souls that cries out to explain to the world not only who we are but also how it was we got to be the person our friends and family know and love. For Martin Blumberg, the path of explaining himself to the world begins by understanding the way the world around him influenced his experiences and choices and how he interacted with family, friends, teachers, and neighborhood businesses as he grew up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
    What puzzles us all is the mystery of how the kids we grew up with in those same surroundings went on to become either well-educated and respected professionals and businessmen, or gangsters and incarcerated criminals.
    Ultimately, growing up is a never-ending series of choices and interactions, some good, some not so, but ultimately, in balance, the better choices lead us to the happiness and self-satisfaction we enjoy, along with our many accomplishments.
    My dear friend Marty Blumberg has traveled a fascinating and unique path as he grew up in Brownsville and then to Canarsie neighborhoods, which colored and influenced his early life and molded him to become the great guy we all know and love. This is Martin’s story, and it beautifully explains him to all of us, and, no doubt, through his introspections and insights, most importantly, explains him to himself.
