Synopsis "Son of Montana: Letters home from Army chronicle his transition from farm boy to electronic technician working at NASA (in English)"
You read the letters the author wrote to his family in western Montana during the 60+ months that he was in the Army and beginning his career with General Electric. He is a serious young man, focused, inquisitive and motivated but with a sense of humor. He is generous with gifts for his parents and caring with advice and encouragement for his siblings. Learn what he discovers during one attempt to ameliorate homesickness and his actions when he reads about children, the same age as his siblings, who were abused. You will read in his letters how he chafes at the friction caused when he is forced to adapt to the Army's strict command and control. The autonomy and independence learned on a small farm in western Montana does not adjust easily to Army rules and regulations. Look for the explosion of adjective phrases in one letter! This is the end of the letter writing era; a form of communication that ends when electronic technology transitions us into the era of the "tweet". We no longer write, nor think. The author did write, and think; discover the insights he provides in these last of an era letters.
