After the Wanderers

In 1968 America was imploding-young men were dying in the escalating war in Vietnam while college students vehemently protested our involvement in Asia. African-Americans, tired of waiting for justice and equality, sacked the inner cities. Martin Luther King, a man of peace was assassinated and presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy was gunned down in cold blood. A young Bronx man named Tony Canaro had his own problems. His girl wanted him to give up his band and the trade he was serving his apprenticeship in to follow her. She wanted to leave New York and move to California after they spent the summer thumbing their way through Italy. Sandria told him he'd have to decide by June or she would be just a memory. In his teens, Tony was a leader in a Bronx gang called "The Wanderers". He always hated ultimatums and although he love his girl, in his world men lead and women follow. . . . or so he thought.
