Publisher's Synopsis
War Baby Journey is a memoir of Peter T. Smith's 72 years to date (1942 to 2014) pursuing personal and professional fulfillment as the world careened through unprecedented social, economic and technological change from the end of World War II, through the Korean War, the assassination of JFK, the moon landing, Vietnam, Watergate, 9/11, and more. From small town origins, Peter gained momentum in college, fell in love with and married Jean Reinhart, fathered two children, and nurtured a career in international marketing. Their lives took a sudden turn midway through, when Jean decided to develop her own career as an Episcopal priest. With love and critical help from many friends and colleagues--and relentless learning, adapting, and hard work--Peter and Jean persevered and went on to celebrate their children's careers and life partners, the birth of four granddaughters, their most fulfilling jobs, and a joyful retirement in Vermont. Peter's memoir, War Baby Journey, is a gift of gratitude for all the love he has received.
