Produktbeschreibung
John Donaldson (1928-2014) wrote The Spring Creek that was to capture the Spring Creek that he remembered in his youth. Chances are you never traveled through Spring Creek during the thirties, forties, or fifties, because not many people did. His father, LR, was a Republican who owned the general store, while his mother was a pro-Roosevelt Democrat who served as a deacon in the Congregational church. Despite poverty and passionate political squabbles, we know the country survived. And in ironic hindsight, the one thing that all friends, relatives, and neighbors would have agreed upon is that -back then-they never realized that they were supposed to have been depressed in his in the Depression. John Donaldson was reared in Spring Creek Pennsylvania and attended Thiel Collage in Northern Pennsylvania. He published many technical papers about electroplating and metal finishing and has been a featured columnist for magazines in the metalworking industry. When he retired, the author resided in California where he worked as a consultant and wrote these funny books about his youth. This book is the combination of John's two book, "The Spring Creek That Was" and "A Spring Creek, PA Scrapbook". There is a great deal of overlap in the topics between the two books, so I have merged them into one. Please see John's Donaldson's other funny books on Spring Creek, "When Turkey Talked and Politicians were People" and "Accidental All Star" -Don

Autorenporträt
John is the author of three books: The Fume Factor, an amusing but nevertheless educational book about happenings and mishappenings in the electroplating industry; The Spring Creek Scrap Book, many pictures and paragraphs describing the town as it was in the 1930's and 1940's; and When Turkeys Talked and Politicians Were People, a whimsical reminiscence of adolescent life in rural Pennsylvania during the Great Depression of the 1930's.
