Garcia Bend (HB) By: Frank Tedrow II This is a story about much more than a place. It’s a story about a group of friends who found the perfect place to party. It’s about an iconic time from 1977 to 1982 when a group of friends became a family. Garcia Bend was a small patch of land located between the Sacramento River on one side and Pocket Road on the other, surrounded by farmland. But for the Party Animals, the original founders of Bums Beach, it was a hideout, a clubhouse, a paradise. But all good parties come to an end. In this volume, Frank Tedrow II revisits the final weekend of the Garcia Bend party, two days of drugs, friends, mayhem, and brotherly love. The last perfect time, when this crew of close friends were still a family. That is what this book is about. Garcia Bend the people, not Garcia Bend the place.

Childhood Nightmares and Adult Fears goes back to the beginning of not understanding what was really going on. The chilling, horrifying memory is our stepmother leaving to go find our biological mother to get us the help we needed to survive. All my life, he always told my siblings and me she was dead or in a mental home. This was an unbelievable shock, then we learned that our stepmother didn't make it to our mother. She was murdered. We didn't witness it. At the same time we learned the truth and much more. The horror of learning what I once didn't understand that our father was the perpetrator. My nightmare is a tall shadow of a man with a hat on his head carrying me naked in his arms as I sniffed and cried softly as he walks toward the bed. This tells me that something did happen. During my adulthood, my fear was always something going wrong when I allow unhealthy men into my life, and I walked into a road of destruction when I saw a sign in my mind that read "Welcome to the Fast Life." Everything that I would never do you could say it became my very own manifestation. I couldn't escape. This is my true story of how I struggled to succeed and survive my trauma never giving up on myself. 144

This book is about an era in our country when American children received more freedom than any other time in American history. After the Vietnam War ended, some American Baby Boomers totally abused this freedom. This book contains many stories about some of those Baby Boomers who were taking full advantage of these times, with no regret or regard of the consequences. Many of the stories you will read about are unethical, immoral, and sometimes disturbing. This book is about a Baby Boomers life, and many of the unique people and events which occurred through these times. You will also read about certain subjects such as sex, drugs, and rock and roll, which were the trademarks of that era. The Baby Boomers not only broke all the rules which took generations to establish: They set new trends and guidelines for many generations to come. They also created a whole new way of life for the American child. Originally from the suburbs of Detroit Michigan, Gary Dixon managed to escape the magnetism of the big city life. He now calls Clearwater Florida his home. From a family of nine children, his family could definitely be considered a Baby Boomer family. With the Baby Boom era in full force, there were not too many places in America to elude the temptations of recreational drug use, and the casual sex scene. Since the Baby Boomers created this new kind of lifestyle, almost every young person in America became a part of it. Gary Dixon and many of his friends not only became a part it, they took it to a whole new level. Living through this era, his life became very unique and eccentric, and he developed many stories along the way. He would like to share these stories with anyone interested, or any other Baby Boomers who grew up through these times.
