After a 50-year career teaching English, German, and Latin, Richard Cupich steps out from the classroom, feeling a deep need to share the personal stories he's collected along the way. Born second in a South Omaha Catholic family of nine children, a Ph.D. graduate of English at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Richard draws from decades of journal entries to reflect on his immersion in his Croatian heritage, his time in the armed forces, and his dedication to education. In Here's Lookin' Up Your Ol' Address, he raises a toast to the family and friends who've shaped him, celebrating both the hardships and blessings that have defined his journey. Each page brings him closer to realizing his identity, whereby he ultimately encourages the readers to discover their own identity and not forget where they came from.
