John Rossi Publishes Memoir
Dr. John Rossi’s recent book Tales of Lower Olney: A Memoir of Growing Up in Philadelphia in the Late 1940s and Early 1950s was published last month by Closson Press. Rossi, Professor Emeritus of History, says the book is “an affectionate memoir of growing up in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia in the decade after World War II.” and “an attempt to paint a portrait through personal stories of a particular time and place in America's past.”
