Spring, 1993
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Across the
Librarian's Desk
F
orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those
wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve
We were pulling for Ike and a peace
future—tne dawn of a new day. Our

First we have to overcome street crime, drues,
Somalia, Iraq, Bosnia, a runaway deficit and a
political system that has become so cruelly
partisan. I wonder if hope can really influence
or diminish the future?
My brother came home safe in the Fall of
1953—he slipped in the back door
unannounced, without a word and it seems to
me the world he came back to has never been
the same. Then, as now, we look forward
optimistically to a new president to heal
serious problems—but one who faces much
sterner challenges, with a less firm footing
than Ike did.
Today we hold the same wish with the same
optimism for everyone's brother and sister. So
many of them face deadly peril everyday.
With the end of forty-five years of
superpower rivalry and confrontation we
The two books I am recommending this
month are Truman by David McCullough and
Iron Fist by Jeffrey Rodengen—two books
about the great American dream of rising from
humble beginnings to success and greatness. I
cannot imagine two biographies more different
in style and content. Truman, the underrated
underdoe, has somehow managed to become
everybody's (including Bush and Clinton)
favorite president today. Iron Fist perfectly
describes Carl Kiekhafer, the hard driving
brilliant, engineer and founder of Mercury
Marine.
