George Vukelich – 1962

Studs Terkel and George Vukelich. Studs wrote the following back cover blurb for George’s North Country Notebook, Vol. I:  

 

“Whether you’re a country boy or a street kid, George is your man.  

His free-and-easy reflections are as invigorating as a breath of fresh Wisconsin air.”
