Description

This great American journey opens with Adolph describing what it was like to grow up in a large, Kansas Volga German farm family in the 1920s and 1930s. Good times, bad times, tragedy and hilarity all encompass the journey through life, like when the hogs were given hooch and partied like a reckless blue grass band. Then came the Great Depression and the hardships placed upon most families, such as picking cow chips for fuel. Worse, though was when World War II erupted, yet it oddly gave Adolph his big chance to finally leave the farm and slopping hogs for a better life. Sent to the Hawaiian paradise of Oahu and Pearl Harbor in January 1941, he left one difficult world for another. That day changed Adolph from a young man to a twenty year OLD man, being almost killed several times. Today, he is now known as the "Hero of Pearl Harbor" for his exploits that day (thanks to his guardian angels) and has a famous Corbis photo to prove it. After meeting his wife to be at a San Francisco party and marrying her five months later, he was discharged in 1946 and proceeded to ply his ingrained, good old American grit in making a living for his wife and recently born son. Working at a variety of occupations, he worked his way through various ups and downs, never giving up, always striving to be his best, the way his old world parents wanted him to live his life. It was this "through pluck and luck" that led him to one of his most memorable moments in his life: working on the classic film "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," at the personal request of Stanley Kramer. Adolph stopped working at the age of 70 and started writing poetry and short stories, amongst other activities. He continues his diary to this day, some seventy-seventy years later."Adolph Kuhn: An American Journey" is a unique view of what the American Dream is all about: family, struggle, perseverance.
