Author Lives on in Our Hearts After Recent Death

My dad Lee McEwen, Sr., author of THE SYLVIA FACTOR, passed away on Sunday, October 1, 2000, at 12:15 p.m., from a short battle with squamous cell carcinoma--lung cancer. The doctors gave daddy the diagnosis at the end of July, 2000. Daddy may not be with us in the flesh, but he will live on in our hearts and continue to touch the lives of those who read his book. May you find peace, contentment, and humor as you learn more about WWII and family values. Our comfort comes in knowing we will be reunited once again for eternity with our Heavenly Father. Daddy has other works to be published, so his legacy doesn't end here. Watch for other books by this author.

The descriptive and unusual experiences of a man raised on a cotten farm who helped build liberty ships and later rode the unpredctible atlantic on merchant marine ships transporting every type from wounded soldiers to war brides makes interesting reading.I could not put the book down.

The Aftermath of WWII and War Brides

This author's first book is absolutely outstanding! Find out what it's like for a country boy, who was a plumber on a war bride ship, learned how women from around the world act. There's a lot of historical information provided also for any WWII buffs!
