Funk in the House Is Worth Two in the Bush
Introduction to the Silent Generation
The generation before the great baby boomers is the less-known silent generation. They do not get the credit like the boomers, but they did provide the glue and butter to the American system that was needed to hold our American way of life together. They historically document the perspective and view of one Midwestern silent generation and some major events that helped us get to where we are today.
Journey Through America
The story will take you through the small town of El Reno, Oklahoma, to the bustling town of Colorado. In the long attempt to become a national political figure, something more important was found along the way. Humanity and individual accomplishments should be recognized by the least of us.
Importance of Family and Wisdom
There are numerous stories that the silent generation has, and it is important to spend as much time with your older family members to uncover the wisdom of their time. Also if you have any interest in Colorado philanthropy, this book might interest you.
