Synopsis

Essays, adventures, and poetry written by members of The Scribblers Group, a long-standing writers' group meeting monthly at Breckenridge Village in Willoughby, Ohio.Pages from the Ages is filled with unique stories written by people who survived the Great Depression and World War II. Their narrative tells of growing up on farms, in rural areas, and in cities. They are a well-educated group who has built bridges, engineered mechanical and electrical devices, taught in the inner cities and in colleges, served in the Army and National Guard, and edited newspapers—all while raising families. In the course of their lives, they’ve also dealt with racism and sexism and worked to change it. They have traveled to Europe, Australia, China, Japan, throughout the United States, and lived in difficult conditions in Alaska. In Pages from the Ages the authors share their perspectives and wisdom gained from their exceptional life experiences. Their voices give readers insight into a passing era.
