Euclid Ohio in the 1950’s could have served as the prototype of the typical Midwestern, industrial, post-war suburb. In A Post-War Promise Kept, David Pfriem tells his own story of growing up and coming of age in the Cleveland suburb of Euclid. It is also a story of a city that is growing, thriving, and changing—a city that reflects a nation in transition in education, civil rights, communication, transportation, and its standing in the world.For e-readers, the Kindle version of this book provides hyperlinks for further reading about significant people, places, and organizations from Euclid.Even if you don’t remember Howdy Doody, poodle skirts, or Euclid Beach Park, you’ll have a great time reading this book of gentle, often humorous memories of a great working man’s town in the 1950’s, a town that fulfilled the post-World War II promise of a chance at the American Dream.
