by Mary E. Matury Gibson (Author)
Mary E. Matury Gibson's debut memoir depicts the life of a first-generation American coming of age in a small rural town. In a world before the Beatles and the computer age life was very different. It was a time of innocence before history would form us and affect us in ways we could have never imagined. Mary E. Matury Gibson is a first-generation American born to Sicilian parents. She is the youngest of six children. Educated at Purdue University Calumet, she holds a degree in industrial environmental psychology and a nursing degree. She has worked as a critical care staff nurse and a practicing nurse practitioner for almost fifty years. She has two adult daughters and five grandchildren. Mary lives in a southwestern suburb of Chicago and spends her retirement years writing about her life. Remembering Strawberry Fields is the first of these memoirs.
