Then came spring, the great time of
road traveling, and everybody in the
night-
scattered
gang, including
Dean and
Carlo, was getting ready to take one trip or another. I was busily at work on my novel and when I came to the halfway mark, after a trip down to the deep,
dark South with my aunt to visit my brother Rocco, I got ready to travel West for the very first time.
