Now at ninety-three, Edgardo G. Calansingin recounts the days of his youth spent living in a mountain resort in the Philippines until World War II erupted and he and his family landed into a life of poverty. Tracking his story of ups and downs, Edgardo recounts the loss of his parents, his inability to attend high school due to lack of funds, and enrolling in agricultural school for free to gain much-desired further education. He worked his way from the fields to the elite group of millionaires in the banking world. A story of penury, benevolence, coincidence, opportunity, defeat, and recovery, The Silent Generation’s Journey is a memoir of one man on his climb to the top and how quickly it all can come crumbling back down, only to find the strength to begin again.About the AuthorEdgardo G.
