Description

Book Synopsis: Parish the Thought Too picks up where author John Ruane's best-selling memoir of growing up in the 1960s, Parish the Thought, left off. The 32 chapters provide a nostalgic look back at a blue-collar neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago, where the author takes readers through the stories of his life, universal experiences which will seem very familiar to so many across America. You’ll read the story of the snowstorm that shut down Chicago, closed schools, but opened the door for kids to have fun in a winter wonderland; the tornado that devastated the southwest side but somehow missed his parish, St. Bede’s; people-watching from the front porch on hot summer nights; walking in the white fog behind the Mosquito truck; standing up to bullies and fighting back; the excitement of school dances; playing youth sports; competing in the Chicago Speech Contest; chasing young love; the gift of camaraderie and good close friends; the Good Humor Man and his Wahoo Bars; playing hockey on make-shift park district ice rinks; high school and college experiences in the classroom and on the athletic field. Those were times we will never see again and this book gives readers a chance to relive those days which were so much simpler and so much better than the world we all live in today.
