Harris 'Bud' George's collection of stories begins with his father coming to America as an orphaned immigrant at 16 and becoming the first Greek businessman in Towson, Maryland, in 1912. His mother's imperatives about growing up in the Baltimore Greek community, his brother's establishment of what is today the largest Greek Orthodox parish library in the western hemisphere, and his sisters' first attempt at Greek cooking and monomania about teaching English vocabulary are deftly and engagingly chronicled, as are the author's fascination with Kythera - the island of his parents' birth - and its lore. George shows how Greek as a second language is handy, how the Greek character manifests itself in the Greek reaction to a Greek-American naval officer's being stationed aboard the largest ship in the world on its maiden visit to Athens, and in the Greeks of Capetown, Manila, and Gdansk. The story of his years in the US Navy offer interesting and amusing adventures in Capetown, Ceylon, the Singapore Straits of Malacca, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, Portugal, and Greece.
