MY JERSEY SHORE TRILOGY:
PROJECT DIANA AND MY POSTWAR CHILDHOOD
I was born during the darkest moments of World War II and then lived for my first thirteen years on the eastern coast of central New Jersey in the shadow of the Cold War. My father, who worked for the Army and later in private industry as a radar specialist, served as chief scientist on Project Diana, the first successful effort to bounce radio waves off the moon.

The trope is that I can connect with my four grandparents via the food they prepared and ate: New World English (300 years of English survival in North America), Old Country English (a taste of Victorian England), French Canadian, and Ashkenazi Jewish.
