The Baby Boomer: Growing Up on the Family Farm
()
About this ebook
Austin Edward Sears has been a lead newspaper reporter for 20 years, and one thing’s for sure: He knows a con when he sees one! Or does he? Because one day, either by Divine Fiat or perhaps by the simple play of blind, intransigent fate, Austin Sears turns on his car radio and listens to an hour of the strangest, funniest, most humane, yet nonsensical history of the post-war years he has ever heard. And stuck as he is with the tyranny of the “professional constraints of the column inch”, Austin Edward Sears will soon meet and interview his "baby boomer" and be in for the surprise of his life! And perhaps that surprise is the unseen human side of this true-to-life story. For in the end Austin Sears finds himself pondering this question: Could it be that we are so stuck in our beliefs, so fixed to the rules, that we allow them to obscure the commonsensical realities that are indeed part of our lives?
If you’re a thinking sort of person, getting a little older, and tuned-in to the homespun, then you will really enjoy the Baby Boomer for it is indeed, humorous, comical, and disarmingly direct.
Austin Edward Sears
Hi. First of all, I am pleased to offer everyone my free study guide for my book "Growing Up Down On The Farm". To get this study guide simply e-mail me at "Algird1@msn.com" and put in the subject line "Study Guide". Thanks. Now, in real life my name is Algird Andrew Sunskis, Jr. the 4th. I go by "Al". The name "Austin Edward Sears" appears on my e-book cover as my nom de plume i.e. my pen name. "Austin" was one of my two best friends when I was in the primary grades in the early 50's. Tommy was my other best friend. Tommy is the guy I have riding shotgun in the chapter entitled The Slammer. "Edward" was my older brother's middle name; Jim passed away 25 years ago, USMC Semper Fi. And "Sears" is the name of my favorite teacher. I honor them all with this penname. As for me, I am hooked on American History and Social Sciences. It fascinates me. My wife Joyce (nee Hess) is both a Berkshire County MA/California girl. We have been married forever. I have a son, Algird Jr. the 5th. He goes by "Andy". His darling wife, Hana, keeps him on the straight and narrow. I sometimes think Hana and Joyce are somehow related. ;-) Anyway, Joyce and I are now retired and living in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. We love the county, we love the people here, and we hope they and you will each enjoy this book about the reality facing a kid growing up "down on the farm". The editors called it, "humorous, comical, and disarmingly direct". I don't know...maybe. What do you think? You can e-mail me anytime. In closing I offer for your consideration the words of Donald G, Schwab (SHS), "Read, not to believe nor to contradict, but to weigh and consider." Peace.
