This book is a chronologue of personal and historic events that have occurred in the lifetime of Dr. Tony Tripodi, a former dean and professor emeritus of Ohio State University. His thoughts and feelings are expressed in 50 vignettes that span 78 years from Birth, The Great Depression, and WWII to the assassination of J.F.K. and Reverend Martin Luther Kings speech, I Have a Dream to the Holocaust, the rescue of coal miners in Chile, Funerals, and the love of Italy, the home of his ancestors. Dr. Tripodi provides poignant reflections and insights in a format by which each of us can write and talk about those personal and historic events that are meaningful in our lives. By referring to his lifetime expressions, he illustrates how all of us have our own unique expressions that span our lifetimes.
