TZA-The Beginning 6
“Yaaaaay!!!!” The cries came from all of the kids, and not just the young ones. This is what they’ve been waiting for the whole time, and now that it was here they couldn’t contain themselves.

TZA – The Beginning – 2
“It all began on a Saturday. I was First Mate on a party boat, the Maxine, a 25 foot cruiser docked out of Sheepshead Bay.” “Sheepshead Bay?” Asked Wendy. “Yeah, in South Brooklyn.” Getting nothing but blank stares he added “Brooklyn, New York.” Some of the older kids recognized that, but not many.
