Summary:
"Bayer Nonen Ross saw his life played out in three parts: from 1917 to 1942 he was a dutiful son of Swedish immigrants in Mountain Lake, Minnesota learning the skills of dry cleaning and tailoring. From 1943 to 1945 he lived through hell as a medic during World War II in Northern Africa, Sicily, and Western Europe. From 1946 to 1990 he was back in Minnesota as a family man and businessman and all the while trying to forget the War. As was true of so many men and women, forgetting wasn't that easy. Talking about it was even harder"--Page [4] cover.
