Produktbeschreibung

Following his service in the Navy during WWII, Merrill returned home to Albany, Oregon, where he and his wife Norma started their family. After turning down an offer to play baseball at Oregon State University he went into the advertising agency business with his brother Frank. Then in 1953, he accepted a position in the advertising and marketing department of Pacific Power and Light in Portland, Oregon. A few years later, he opened his own ad agency in Portland, which was short-lived when he was offered a dream job as advertising and marketing director for the Elmers Restaurant chain headquartered in Portland. Twelve years later, he retired after the chain was sold and devoted his efforts in writing and producing more than a dozen national award-winning documentaries pertaining to little-known or purposely forgotten stories from WWII. Meanwhile, he has published two books titled Tales from WWII You Probably Never Heard Before and Invisible Are the Brave. For more information about the author visit his website zedmerrill.com.

Autorenporträt

Growing up as a kid during those times in a small town like Albany, Oregon, is an experience that might be difficult to describe to today's generation, but I'm willing to give it a try. Those of you who know what it was like, whether you were from Maine, Illinois, or California, I'm sure you're going to see yourself somewhere in one of these stories. Maybe going deep for one of those back lot passes, racing a pal to kick the can in the middle of a street, or swinging from a ring for a swan dive into a lazy river.
