    Memoirs of a World War II TroopCarrier Crew Chief and Life-long Pilot

    Elmer Wisherd’s aviation career begins as a troop carrier crew chief in World War II and ends as the manager of a rural Wisconsin airport. The camaraderie of soldiers during a war, the determination needed to build a successful airport, and the forced landings, crash landings, miracle landings, and planes exploding in flaming infernos are among the many stories of his fascinating career.
  • Soldier, scientist, artist, author, and the Johnny Appleseed of American soccer: His was truly a “life in full.” German-born Gottfried K. “Joe” Guennel moved to the U.S. as a young teen. During World War II, he became one of the U.S. Army’s famed “Ritchie Boys” – a highly trained interrogator of German prisoners of war and war criminals. His artistic talent and interest in palynology led him to write and illustrate two well-regarded books. And woven throughout his life was his passion for soccer, which led him from the playgrounds in Germany to the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame.
  • Serious, at times humorous, Ross Fruen weaves a wonderful tapestry of the connected family, lake and city. Blemishes included. The author seasons the book with nasty political tricks, explosions, riots and a gangster or two.
