Produktbeschreibung

In 1960, author Larry Lee knew he needed to make a decision. A high school student in Kansas City, he had a girlfriend and some great buddies. He wasnt ready to head to college and had no idea what he wanted to do in life. With the political climate at the time, he realized he must join the service or be drafted.

Between the Poles shares a journal of the who, what, when, why, and what-for epilogue of his four adventurous years in the US Navy. It was during this time he was transformed from a kid into a hard-working, tax-paying young adult. The story stems from keeping a daily log of his experiences in and with Operation Deepfreeze 63 in Antarctica aboard the USS Staten Island (AGB-5).

Written through a young sailors eyes, this fun, lighthearted story describes Lees adventures on an icebreaker in the Navy, sailing between Seattle, Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle where he traveled tens of thousands of miles, endured good times and bad times, and created lifelong friendships.

Autorenporträt

Larry Lee was an entertaining storyteller, and in 2014, at age seventy-two, he started writing this book after encouragement from family and friends who had listened to the endless tales of his US Navy days during the early 1960s. Lee passed away in 2016, and his last wish was that his book be published.
