In the 1950s, children who were among the first of America’s post-World War II Baby Boom generation were also some of the first to experience moving from urban inner cities to live in newly created housing developments in the suburbs.
One of those children, Karole Friemann, chronicles that journey of that move and her elementary through high school years in her recently-published book, “New York City Boomers to the Burbs.”
Join Friemann on February 12 as she shares her story at Kimberling Area Library’s “Learning on Wednesday.” In her bio on Amazon, Friemann, who now enjoys living in the Ozarks, says writing the stories helped her hone her writing skills while preserving the account of her ancestors and keeping memories and experiences alive for future generations of her own family. Her presentation, and her book, will likely offer nostalgic memories for others who experienced that time, and new insight about it for those whose parents and grandparents were part of that historic migration.
This entertaining and insightful presentation will begin at 10:15 a.m. in the Kimberling Area Library Community Room on Wednesday, February 12. Coffee and light snacks will be provided; attendance is free; and prior registration is not required.
