Filled with rich historic detail and hilarious personal
anecdotes, "Stories from the Lou " shares tales from two Hungarian
American brothers, Peter David Banyai and Louis Kiraly Banyai.
A candid and enjoyable glimpse into their family history and
daily life experiences in America from the 1930s through the 1950s,
Pete and Lou take you on the Ferris wheel at the World's Fair, tell
about wearing a dwarf costume in New York City after Walt Disney
produced "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and entertain with a
funny Christmas story about the time the town's volunteer fire
department came to play with one brother's present.
You'll travel along with the twosome from the hubbub of New York
City to their grandparents' central Wisconsin farm, where time
slows to a crawl during the summer. See what happens when the
first-born grandson and his grandpa test homemade wine
together.
Also included in this work are unique stories about life in the
U.S. Army and a few poignant memories, including reflections and
helpful insights. "Stories from the Lou " demonstrates how the
Banyai family dealt with and survived loss, learned the importance
of sharing stories with the next generation, and discovered the
power of forgiveness.
