Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1949, Martin Feess joined the American baby boomer generation—one of the most privileged group of people to ever walk the earth. While growing up in a small Wisconsin town on a picturesque lake, Feess learned about Dick and Jane, collected an abundance of toys, played baseball, and watched hours of television westerns, just like many other boys of his generation. In a fascinating story of a boomer’s time as seen through a boomer’s eyes, Feess leads others through his experiences as part of the disillusioned generation of the Vietnam War as he matured, served in the army, attended college, and moved west to begin a new chapter. While sharing personal anecdotes, observations, and lessons learned, Feess provides a look into how his journey eventually took him to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia where he learned to embrace the perspectives of others living around the world. Through his experiences and historical reflections, Feess offers an educational window into the making of a unique generation that today looks back in laughter and forward in hope while attempting to better understand who we all are as Americans. A Baby Boomer’s Times, Travels, Thoughts, and Hopes shares personal stories, observations, and historical facts that provide an entertaining and thought-provoking slice of Americana.
