Those Early Years - Princeton: Princeton

By Joel F. Lemke

A story of those magical years for a boy, and his family, while growing up from age one to eleven in the little farm community of Princeton, Illinois during 1935 to 1945. From the later days of the Depression through WWII, this autobiography reminisces memorable moments from Fireside Chats with FDR, Sunday night radio, rationing, elementary school days, the Civilian Defense Corp (CDC), and the boys and their toys. The book offers a mixture of humor, history, and every day family events, blended with a format of short chapters to avoid any chance of reader fatigue.
