Publisher's Synopsis
Hello fellow Baby Boomers and those who would like to read a book that may explain your parents, grandparents, and some of your great grandparents. This is the story of one of these Baby Boomers, me. My book, A Boomer's Tale, is a fun and sometimes serious stroll through the life and times of me. I interject as much humor as I can, in the hope that I can entertain while educating you starting with my early childhood in the 50's coming of age in the 60's and 70's. My Marine Corps and Vietnam experiences, my post-military life growing a family along with a long-haul trucking career, up till today will entertain and educate. You fellow Boomers and Vietnam vets may see yourself in these pages. This is the kind of book I wish my parents and grandparents would have written, so I could have better known their lives.
Foreword: Growing up in the 1960s near Chicago is depicted with wit and charm. Ed introduces the reader to the inside working of the adolescent male mind as he navigates dating and relationship ups and downs. Other Vietnam Era veterans will see themselves in this account and relate to the constant struggle to 'soldier on' when you don't feel like it. This was written at the beginning of what will surely be a creative and productive retirement.
Thanks for the memories.
Love,
Gina
