Book Description
James L. Meng is a retired labor relations arbitrator who was born in the mid-American steel town of Granite City, Illinois. His parents were born in Freeburg and Newton, Illinois and were active civic leaders in their community. In his formative years, James met several occasions that comprised a very interesting youth. After graduating from college, he joined the Missouri Air National Guard where he was awarded the Airman’s Medal for Valor. Afterwards he continued his education for a Master degree. He married his lovely wife, Beverly, and had two children and four grandchildren. While cleaning out his basement, he discovered several inherited boxes containing family pictures and documents. Although not a genealogist, which he says with a great deal of pride, he fortunately decided to share his information with others, both the born and unborn. This book is written to reflect the lives and personalities of real people – not just the genealogical statistics of born on date, married on date, had child one, two, three and died on this date. These were real people who realized and conquered a variety of life challenges in Germany and in their newly adopted home in America. As a nation of immigrants, we should not let their contributions be forgotten...

Book Description
This book is written to reflect the lives and personalities of real people-not just the genealogical statistics of born on, married on dates, etc. They all confronted and conquered a variety of life's challenges in Germany and in their newly adopted home in America. This time-consuming effort by the author also provides an excellent example of what others can do to discover and record their family's history for future generations. As a nation of immigrants, we should not let their contributions be forgotten. Accordingly, A Smile and A Kind Thought would be appreciated.
