Revised edition of The Glassmakers: a history of Owens-Illinois
Incorporated by Jack Paquette.
A Boy's Journey is the poignant, often humorous, memoir of Jackie,
a child growing up in the Midwest during the 1930s and early 1940s.
The boy's story initially focuses on the joys and sorrows of a
motherless working class family striving to cope with the hardships
of the Great Depression. However, the chronicle takes a macabre
turn when Jackie's alcoholic father loses his job and attempts to
commit suicide. Jackie and two of his brothers are taken to the
county orphanage. The author's bittersweet account of his life in
the orphanage and subsequent experiences as an adopted teenager
concludes as the Depression ends and he enters the U. S. Navy
during World War II.
