Decades of Blessings
Part 1 of this book relates oral history shared repeatedly by siblings of the author over many years. With the mobility of today's society, recent and contemporary history is not likely to be communicated orally with the same vigor as previous generations. Therefore, this written record, Decades of Blessings, will allow future generations to appreciate the heritage that has been so rich and so meaningful to their predecessors. Part 2 relates milestones, joys, and sorrows of the author, hoping that reading these experiences will speak positively to the reader.

Looking Back at Elyria: A Midwest City at Midcentury
"Brimming with postwar optimism and prosperity, mid-twentieth-century Elyria seemed like Camelot and was, indeed, a brief passage on a beloved president's campaign trail. You could visit the bears at Cascade Park and play on the slides. See a movie at the Capitol Theatre and enjoy a cherry Coke at the Paradise, but wait until the party line is free before calling your friends on your rotary telephone to make your plans. Run an errand for Mom at Hales Market and then walk up to the old Reefy Mansion to check out a book at the library.

Based on her award-winning articles for the Chronicle-Telegram, author Marci Rich combines journalism, historical research, and memoir to look back at her hometown with love."--
