The early seventies was a young man's Adventure land. With the new freedom of expressing yourself sexually and nothing being too far out, it was a great time to be me, Fritz.
Growing up in Chicago in the 70 "s, you had a nickname, mine was Fritz. We all grew up on the same block and hung out in the dark alley every night. The alley is where every young man learned about sex. Most of it was all talk, but I was to learn that I was different. Seems I had a knack to fall into a sexual situation.
I could never participate in the story telling, because I was the youngest in the group and all of my sexual experiences at the time, happened with family members.
My parents came over on the boat, literally, and I was an only child as well. In Europe we had many relatives. Between my father and mother there were 12 brothers and sisters. I did not know it then, but lucky me had 10 aunts and many cousins in Europe.
Which brings me to one of my early accidental encounters with an Aunt.
One of my Aunts, Auntie Ressie was coming to stay with us in our 2 flat for 3 weeks. Mom and dad took me to O'Hare, to pick her up at the airport. At 18 I really rather have stayed home and played ball, then to be stuck with an older aunt in a long car ride.
Yahoo, the great moment came as she cleared customs and we all hugged.
