This book is not destined to be on anyone's Best Seller list. It may make you chuckle out loud once or twice as you read it. The vignettes within were written to help take you back to your early roots. How well do you remember your childhood? What specifically triggers a memory to rise to the surface? A book or a newspaper, a song or a picture, recollection triggers abound. Remembrances like:
-President John Kennedy smiling and waving at a young boy sitting on a curb?
-Holding the hand of a pretty girl for the first time during a dance recital?
-Driving through a cloud of tear gas and groups of excited and gagging protesters on the streets of Miami at the Republican Convention in 1972?
-Driving throughout the night to watch a Key West sunrise?
-First flight on a jumbo jet on a trip to visit friends at college?
Walk with the author down his own Memory Lane and enjoy a taste of Americana from the 1950s, -60s, and -70s with your morning coffee. The full flavor of growing up in the Midwest is refreshingly served up in the pages of the memoir, Through the Eyes of a Painless Pole. Reminiscences of the author's youth are shared in detail: adventures he took part in, and friendships he forged and kept throughout the years.
Author Walt Helminski and his wife, Connie, continue to reside in NW Indiana. The author is a degreed Mechanical Engineer, now retired, and a self-avowed Entertainment Junkie. A sunny day will likely find him sitting on the deck listening to music while enjoying his coffee and a good book. A rainy day will likely find him in his family room watching a classic movie
