Coke Bottle Glasses and Other Stories of IBEW Fathers" by John Karhoff and Bill Rogers (a.k.a. Malcolm Tanner) is a heartfelt collection of stories that celebrate the lives and values of their fathers, who were union electricians. The book is dedicated to their fathers, loyal members of IBEW Local One, and highlights the impact they had on their families. Through various anecdotes, the authors share the resilience, discipline, and inclusive attitudes their fathers exhibited, whether it was overcoming challenges in the U.S. Army, instilling discipline from Navy experiences, or supporting their children's ambitions and attitudes.
The stories are filled with warmth and nostalgia, capturing memorable moments such as a father-son day at a Scout event, the support for hockey ambitions, and the camaraderie shared through work trucks like the Blue Bomb. The book also acknowledges the contributions of friends and family who supported the authors in compiling these stories, making it a touching tribute to the legacy of their fathers and the values they passed down.
