About the Book
From Spider Bikes to Boy Scouts, Patrols, music lessons, Boys Club sports, Estes rockets, go karts, Soap Box Derby, and more - you will be transported back to the moon-landing years in this firsthand account of the author's upper elementary-preteen adventures. The setting is Levitt's planned community of "Belair at Bowie" but will resonate with many who grew up in the pre-digital age.

Self-contain "campfire story" chapters make for easy reading. An architectural analysis of the K-section's house models is included. This is book 2 of the author's Maryland Flag Tetralogy.

Since 1992 their home has been a Levitt colonial on Belair Drive facing Bowie’s “tree tunnel”, a bridal path lined with beech trees.
