So many questions not asked . . . . Who are the significant elders in your life? Parents? Grandparents? Older friends or neighbors? What do you really know about them? Have you ever asked them to tell their stories? Tony Wasowicz waited until his father was in his nineties to ask him. He will always wonder why he waited so long. Many of us—most of us—take our elders for granted, thinking that, maybe someday we’ll get around to sitting down with them and taking the time to listen to them. Right now, we’re just too busy. Tony Wasowicz was lucky that his father, a veteran World War II bomber pilot and POW, lived to be 97. During the last years of his life, Pop answered Tony’s questions about being in the Army, flying the B-26, fighting the War, parachuting into enemy territory, surviving Stalag Luft I, learning to appreciate food, and following his dreams. Ask Your Father tells the story of Tony’s conversations with Pop, learning more than just what his father did in the war. A hero despite himself, Pop was an ordinary man who lived in extraordinary times and did extraordinary things.
