description: We begin during the depression of the 1930s, and continue throughout the life of a boy who had no first name. His mother, a fan of Tarzan movies, delivered him and named him "Boy" which was the name of Tarzan's son. The family moved into the caretakers' house of the old Ronaldson's cemetery on 9th and Bainbridge Streets in South Philadelphia. Boy dreamed of becoming a sailor through his childhood years and on his 17th birthday he walked into the main Navy recruiting station in Philadelphia and enlisted. The story continues through Boys' 20 year career as an enlisted man and Warrant Officer in the Sea Service. Many humorous incidents taking place during this period are related for the readers' amusement
