Waiting For Chester
by
J. Kasper
As an autobiography, “Waiting for Chester” relates the youthful adventures of the youngest member of an immigrant family. Arriving in Canada, from Europe in the early fifties and settling in an impoverished region of Hamilton Ontario, the author’s Family set forth to evolve a suitably comfortable lifestyle. The fateful coincidence of events that transpired through family, friends and fascinating acquaintances sends an innocently ignorant seven year old through an overwhelming journey toward maturity. This sometimes amusing cultivation toward adolescence proved ever more stimulating by his exposure to those magical high school years during the emergence of the Rock and Roll era. “Waiting for Chester” will remind us all of the chasteness of our youth and the morally wholesome side of our life.
Born in Germany in 1945, J. Kasper along with his Polish Family, emigrated to Canada settling in the East end of Hamilton, Ontario in 1952. “Waiting for Chester” traces the Authors youthful years through a fascinating high school era. Upon marrying, he and his bride Krystyna settled in Burlington, Ontario. The Author followed a career path in Engineering within the Petroleum and Petrochemical industry. After several years of marriage, enriched with the upbringing of two wonderful daughters, the couple semi-retired in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in 1994. The Author continued as a part-time Engineering consultant for approximately ten years traveling to destinations such as Algeria, Mexico, Venezuela and various locations through Canada and the U.S. The publishing of this Book is a tribute to his wife and a celebration of 2016 as the year of their 50th Wedding Anniversary. “Waiting for Chester” and it’s reference to a gone-by era, is meant to also chronicle some of the Author’s family ancestry for future generations.
