Everybody’s Uncle, published by Dog Ear Publishing, provides a glimpse into the life of a self-made man, accomplished dancer, artist and inspirational teacher. Learn more about this man who was everyone’s “uncle.”
Berwyn, IL, April 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Eugene Patrizi was extraordinary from his first day of life, Oct. 21, 1931. He weighed 12 pounds at birth, an unusual weight for the era of the Great Depression. This “baby” of the family became an uncle at age 3 and grew up with his nieces and nephews. This son of Italian immigrants had artistic talent at an early age, with teachers and adults admiring his images. His reading skills were just as developed. The author desperately wanted to be educated – attend college. But life intervened, and he needed to take care of his parents.
Patrizi was drafted during the Korean War for medical training, serving two years in the Medical Corps. After his honorable discharge, he lived with his divorced sister in a tiny apartment. Escaping this dreary life, he enrolled at Northern Illinois State Teachers College in DeKalb, thanks to the GI Bill. College allowed his talents to flourish, and he became president of the Art Guild. His life changed when two professors asked him to consider teaching art, which was a change from his original plan to be a commercial artist. He taught for seven years in Berwyn, Ill., became art coordinator for all seven schools in that city and retired in 1986 from teaching after 20 years at Maine West High School in Des Plaines, completing a Master of Arts degree at Northern Illinois University along the way.
Everybody’s Uncle, published by Dog Ear Publishing, provides a glimpse into the life of a self-made man, accomplished dancer, artist and inspirational teacher. Learn more about this man who was everyone’s “uncle.” Black and white photos of the author’s family and friends offer another look into the past of the author’s extraordinary life.
