GROWING UP AMERICAN A Journey Of Discovery . . . Is a fascinating story about one man’s experiences growing up in America during the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War; and how he pursued his career during the turbulent 1960s and beyond.

Abstract:
Born and raised in the shadow of New York City, the author takes the reader on a fast-paced journey back in time for a glimpse of the life his parents experienced in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn; life on Long Island during the end of the Depression; and hometown life during World War II and Korea.

In 1960, the author’s eclectic career took him from New York to a small college town in Iowa, where he met a gifted farm-girl who agreed to share his erratic life style. Their 47-year journey is a joyful tale of family life and fascination with the executives, celebrities, politicians, and wannabees they encountered along the way.
