Produktinformationen zu „Bayonne Boy (ePub)“
This is a story about a young kid growing up in the blue-collar town of Bayonne, NJ. During the war years of the 1940s and his teenage years of the 1950s, Robert Vargovcik went off to make his mark on the world. Bayonne is located across the harbor from the southern tip of Manhattan. It was known for its oil refineries, but it also had a lot of heavy industries, chemical plants, foundries, and the like. Everybody had a good-paying job. The author grew up in close neighborhoods, and television and air-conditioning were on the distant horizon. It was the time of screen doors, front porches, and backyard swings. Evenings were spent with neighbors exchanging gossip and waiting for a cool breeze. Winters were spent playing board games. Thanks to gas rationing, the streets were the playgrounds, and seven-year-olds could roam far and wide and not worry their parents. They just had to make sure they were home for dinner.
Autoren-Porträt von Bob Vargovcik
R.J.Vargovcik could never sit still, after graduation from Vocational High School he enlisted in the army and served
3 years in the Transportation Corp as a landing craft
operator. After discharge from the military he would spend
the next 45 years working as a Merchant Seaman and truck
driver with a couple of other jobs thrown into the mix.
In 1978 he moved his family to the Jersey shore and today
he resides with his wife of 47 years in Selbyville Delaware
but he still considers himself a Bayonne Boy.
