The author’s memoir, which is the first of a trilogy, is more than a nostalgic return to the good old days during World War II and the golden era that followed America’s most defining moment. H. L. Quist, as he effectively paints a picture of 'a perfect time, a perfect place,' allows us the opportunity to reflect on the enormous change in America’s mores in the past half century.In a Micheneresque manner, the author explains his roots and frames the backdrop for his narrative - a series of life-defining experiences punctuated with rich humor and boyish adventure that will encourage the reader to pause and recall his or her own childhood.
