Summary of Robert Coram's Boyd
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Erie, Pennsylvania, is a hard town, a blue-collar town, and a grubby and decrepit town. It has more in common with its fellow Great Lakes rust-belt towns of Buffalo and Cleveland than it has with Pennsylvania cities.
#2 When John Richard Boyd was born in 1927, his parents shared the front bedroom with him. His sister Marion had her own room. The third bedroom was shared by the boys, Bill and Gerry.
#3 When Hubert died, his wife, Elsie, began selling cakes and Christmas cards to support the family. She also began conducting telephone solicitations for advertisements that went inside program booklets for banquets.
#4 Elsie turned poverty into a cardinal virtue in her household. She taught her children that they had principles and integrity that were often lacking in those with money and social position. She hammered into John that as long as he held on to his sense of what was right, and as long as his integrity was inviolate, he was superior to those who had only rank or money.
