Description:Stories don't have to die. Fewer than 550,000 American veterans of World War II remain. Every day, voices fall silent as time, age, and disease steal away the Greatest Generation. In their passing, we lost not just friends and family – we lose stories, too.Stories about the war, yes, but also of a world few are familiar with today: a time when war seemed impossible rather than commonplace; when the world was somehow smaller and less connected; when men and women worked to pick up the pieces of a shattered dream, living uniquely normal lives interrupted by extraordinary events.One such voice belonged to Thomas Judson Poole, Jr. of New Bern, North Carolina, affectionately known to many as “Mr. Tom.” Using stories told around his kitchen table and documents discovered after his death, Stories in the End offers a glimpse into his 98 years of life, including a family connection to Orville and Wilbur Wright a boyhood full of small-town hijinks a brief encounter with John Dillinger a twenty-year stint in the navy a plan to catch turtles for Campbell’s Soup This is the story of a lifetime.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
