商品簡介
Ilion, My Childhood, My Memories is a book containing the many colorful antics of a young boy. A boy curious with the life around him, enjoying the many moments with his family and friends in his hometown of Ilion, New York. Follow this young boy from his ages of 6 through 13, as he explores his hometown of Ilion, the town he grew up in, the neighborhoods he lived in, and the many friends he enjoyed spending time with. Enjoy his many adventures and the sometimes-unexpected consequences of those adventures, not always anticipated by the young boy. Explore too, how the town physically changed as the boy grew into a teenager and would eventually leave, moving to another state and leaving behind all that was familiar - his home, his friends, his school, his young life. What others have said about this beautifully written book:
For those who grew up in Ilion, Kevin Hall's wonderful recollections of his life there should resonate with all of us. In the process of sharing his personal stories, he motivates his readers to remember their own parallel experiences regardless of the generation or era to which we belong. His memories kindle thoughts of our own, and in that - the book goes beyond being a personal history and becomes a springboard subtly inducing others to recall and reflect upon what being raised in Ilion was like. Joseph Collea, IHS '65, former IHS teacher/principal, village mayor & author Mr. Hall has written a vivid account of his youth in the bustling village of Ilion, NY. His narrative gives readers the meaning of what it was like to grow up in the town Remington Arms made. A truly joyful book with a little history and anecdotes that will entice an audience not only from Ilion, but from any comparable locale. Mike Disotelle, Historian, Ilion Free Public Library, Ilion NY Kevin Hall's Ilion memories is an entertaining memoir of growing up in an almost forgotten age. Life was much simpler then, but growing up is never simple. Mr. Hall shares many relatable anecdotes about his childhood which open an interesting window on the hopes and dreams of a young boy in a small town in upstate New York during the 1960's. He also adds good commentary about the distressing impact that later Urban Renewal had upon his town. This is a great read that gives insight into the author's childhood and that period in American life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Brad Bixby, Naples Florida Author's words:
I have come to the conclusion that I must accept that the past is the past, and that I cannot change that. I must now take comfort in knowing that for a brief period, I had the pleasure of living in and enjoying one of the best hometowns imaginable. A place of many wonders, of much history and tradition, and a place where I made some fabulous childhood memories. I must accept that the Ilion of my youth can now only exist in photographs and in my memory. And I know too, that I can keep it alive through my storytelling. A town of a by-gone era, a town steeped in history, now but a memory for those that walked it.' - Kevin M. Hall
