Descended from South Alabaman farmers, duty and curiosity carried Steele Malone far from home, but a connection to his roots brought him back. Based on interviews with Steele's grandson, this engaging narrative breathes life into experiences that Steele has collected for generations. These are tales of: an adventurous childhood amid a vigorous and well-preserved southerns culture; a tour with the U.S. Army as a medic during World War II; the challenges and humor of raising an expanding family; and a retirement full of civic duty and travels to exotic and interesting places.
Veteran, engineer, brother, husband, grandfather ... Steele Malone is many things to many people. This loving history traces the travels and trials, as well as the professional and personal triumphs, of a humble man with a remarkable life.
