Blessed with a phenomenal memory, George Kunz in his later years began writing down the recollections of his Depression upbringing. For years these anecdotes were published regularly in the Buffalo News. Other observations on education and the general scene made their way into the Wall Street Journal, Buffalo Spree and Reminisce Magazine. Happily for all of us, most of these articles are here collected. Reading Mr. Kunz's charming columns describing times past in Western New York feels like a cozy chat with your favorite uncle. Buffalonians are rightfully proud of their history. Whether you are from the Buffalo, New York area or not, this collection of stories written by George Kunz, is a wonderful read. Each story tells of a memory from the depression, an event in history or a sentimental occurance that all can relate to in life.
