Run, Run, Run The 1941 Diary Of A Deaf Long Island Teenager [Hardcover]

RUN, RUN, RUN! is the unedited diary of a Long Island teenager who defied doctor's orders (trick knee) and ran all winter 1940-41 on his own, making the high school track team in the spring and challenging for the county championship. But the diary covers much more. Even though it's from a before- TV, -computer, and -cell phone era, there was excitement: Sailing, swimming, and cavorting on Great South Bay; trips to the Jersey Shore, teenage love, the daily in's and out's of high school affairs, Lt. Col. North's work on a secret underground airport (still secret in 2010-11) all on the eve of the Second World War. Open this book and you'll meet the boys and girls of a typical 1940s Long Island high school.
