Thanks for the suggestions. Being that Top Gun is one of Randy's favorite movies, the "need for speed" phrase will be a good one. This book is going to be bigger than I thought when I started - it's a fun one to do. I'm still open to more ideas, too.

I WOULD GO TO ONE OF THESE STORES THAT CARRY THE DATED GREETING CARDS AND GET ONE OF THOSE TO FIND OUT THINGS LIKE WHAT MOVIE WON THE OSCAR, WHAT THE TOP SONG WAS. TOP ACTOR/ACTRESS PRICES OF THINGS LIKE MILK, HOMES, GAS, ETC. INCLUDE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THE PRICE OF A COLA, PACK OF GUM, MOVIE TICKETS, NEWSPAPER WHEN HES OLDER HE WONT BELEIVE HOW "CHEAP" THINGS WERE THEN LOL. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THINGS TOO LIKE THE PRESIDENTAL ELECTION THAT TOOK MONTHS , THINGS BOUT YOU AND HIS FATHER SUCH AS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES, COLORS, FOODS THINGS TO DO ETC.

Annpan - you asked whether I had ever seen the Mapp and Lucia TV series - no, but I have heard good things about it... Does the series stay quite close to the story? I happened to find a title the other day which I am having an extremely hard time to put down. It was published in 1955 by author Brian Moore and has the appalling title of The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne. It's the story (fiction) of a (maybe) middle-aged (definitely) unmarried woman during the 50's in Belfast. She becomes enmeshed with one of her fellow boarders at the house where she lives, and, at the same time, is fighting really hard to keep part of her life secret. Really excellent read. She's not a particularly likeable character, but she stays with you. Reminds me a bit of Stone Angel's protagonist in some ways. And it has little to do with bodice-ripping type passion. BTW, just found out that there is a sub-category of bodice-ripping romance books focused on the Amish crowd -- called "bonnet-ripping".... :-)
