Just Joe

"Just Joe" dips back in time to a more simple and hopeful America, when life and technological innovations happened at a slower pace. From his boyhood in the rural Midwest to experiences at Harvard, World War II, and beyond, Joe's reflections are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, but always thoughtful. He shows readers a four-year-old waiting in a stranded, snowbound Model T while his father goes for help; a swimming hole in a Wisconsin creek; a whirlwind war-time wedding; and a flight over the battleship Missouri during the surrender ceremony that ended WWII; taking older readers back and giving younger readers an idea of what life was like in the not-too-distant past.
