Return to Glenlord

For author Alexander Rassogianis, spending the summers with his family in southwestern Michigan during his school years in the 1950s brought the greatest joy and the fondest memories. In Return to Glenlord, he reminisces about this era of old-fashioned resorts, quaint little cottages, sandy beaches, long walks on country roads, and the permeating scent of pine. In this memoir, Rassogianis recalls being a part of a vibrant Greek community that transported itself from Chicago every year. He includes anecdotes about characters and events such as getting into mischief with his three buddies, falling in love six times before the age of twelve, and going on excursions to Glenlord Beach, impressions gathered from a beautiful world that no longer exists except as irreplaceable memories.
