Synopsis

POPCORN ROAD TO PARIS...and Back is a collection of memories by Robert W. Thrasher, an Army Scout during WWII. The author's style is almost that of a comic entertainer. He pokes fun at Uncle Sam in "My First Job," saying he never got paid for any of the jobs he did until he became a soldier and received a dollar a day and room and board! He then became a scout. "...I soon got used to my job as a scout. I learned to concentrate really hard and be aware of everything all the time. I can tell you that it was a kid's job. An old man sure couldn't handle it. But before you knew it, the war was over and I was laid off. That damn Hitler again." Through the author's eyes you will laugh, and you will cry, but you will never forget these stories.
