''Hello, Mrs. Lockwood, Can Billy Come Out to Play?''

About the Book

Bill recalls in intimate detail and pictures his family background; his growing up in Ridgewood, Queens; his long summers in Bayville and Shinnecock; his school days; teenage years as a drummer; his four years in the air force; those eleven years of college night school; his business career and remarkable leap into a wildly successful business ownership; and his special interests and friends and his loving fifty-year marriage. Bill’s twin sister, Patricia, adds insights to the story with her own view of what life was like in the Lockwood household during their early years, sometimes surprisingly different from what Bill remembered. With humor and aplomb, Bill stops at nothing in sharing his life and inner thoughts with the reader.
