Grandpa's Recollections

By Walter Lamp

This book is about family immigration and a first generation American. It's a happy story, not a hardship story that is frequently written about new American immigrants and their children.In a way, it is a story about assimilation into American society. But this assimilation story was modified by this first generation American who broke the typical stances and stereotypes frequently associated with assimilation. Little that he did could be view as being normal in the course of assimilation. Making more and more money was not his goal. Leading a life of exploration was. He did what came to mind and what he wanted to do, and avoided what he didn't want to do.Yet, his individualistic path lead to his playing a part in the highest levels of government, and making a mark on the international scene, while enjoying himself.Like Lord Chesterfield's letters that helped mold his son, this book provides lifestyle tips for youths seeking to lead independent, free-wheeling and interesting lives.
