79 Years of Wonderful Memories and Some Regrets

About the Book

Steve Emerson grew up knowing very little about his family history, and wrote this story so his descendents would know theirs. In 1943, Steve was called to join the United States military, weeks after joining the Canadian Air Force. Steve had never even known he was American. Steve learned that his dad was born in Connecticut and his grandmother divorced his grandfather to move to Canada. She took Steve's dad with him to protect him from the First World War draft. Steve's only sister was sent to live in California, and because of knowing so little about his family, it was only years later that he discovered she was living with an aunt and uncle.

Steve does not want his family to know so little about their relatives, and describes his life from his childhood, to his war years and having his own family.
