Abstract:
Remnants of Things Past--My First Sixty Years delves into James Bodnar’s life-long odyssey from birth in a small town in Pennsylvania to retirement.

A Baby-Boomer and Vietnam Era Veteran, James peers into his childhood and young adult life unearthing pieces of memorable treasures that spark empathy about growing up in the twentieth century. Readers will meet both remarkable and unsavory characters that inspire and delight aficionados of history and Americana.

Every chapter brims with tales and humorous anecdotes that reflect the depths of the human heart. Laughs come easy, some stifled with tears. Old and new mingle here.
