Author's Synopsis
A Look Back in Time: Memoir of a Military Kid in the Sixties, Vol. III, 1st Edition
A young adult. A military family. A rousing high school adventure.
You can relive those high school days with Bernard N. Lee, Jr., a determined military-teenager, as he navigates the challenges he faces on his job at The Club, and in his classes at the high school. In this third volume of A Look Back in Time:…. Lee invites readers to relive his experiences attending Lawton High School in the sixties. This son, of a career soldier in the army, finds himself torn between working to pull his weight as a young man, and yearning to fit into a social environment that is “just out of his reach.”
Can you imagine what it felt like to be halfway through high school and then have to move? For Bernard, it was his eighth move with his military dad. He wanted this move to be different. He yearned to belong. He needed a place where he could finally “make his mark.”
In these pages, Bernard reflects on the people, triumphs, and challenges that made this time in his life so memorable. He shares these stories with honesty, sincerity, and passion.
Join Bernard on a journey full of adventure, surprises, nostalgia, and life choices, including:
• Joyful moments – when you meet the new neighbors and swap stories from all over the world.
• Nervous moments – when you enter a classroom for the first time in a new school.
• Life changing orders – when your dad says you must get a job to prove you are a man.
• Gut wrenching moments – when you discover your new car is gone… stolen!
• Thrilling encounters – when you make the track team and race all over the southwest.
• Life altering choices – when you must balance working, studying, competing, and leaving home for good.
Whether you are a military brat, veteran, history lover, or someone who remembers your unforgettable time in high school, A Look Back in Time:.., Vol. III, will warm your heart and stir your soul.
