"Byk fully constructs Mr. B, from the Rhode Island coastal awe in his voice to his penchant for mustard on peeled egg. In these small, perfectly executed moments, Byk brings her fascinating family to life for readers with warm and genuinely funny wit..." - KIRKUS REVIEW
Mister B could care less about being politically correct. On the verge of financial ruin, family members decide to help a 98-year-old rocket scientist. The old man decides to teach them a few of his own life lessons, namely how to live forever. By the time you finish reading about him, you will know how to live a carefree existence.
"A wonderful book, brimming with humor and spirituality. The characters are lovingly drawn and Byk provides her readers with a day-by-day recounting of how her life intersects with the indefatigable Mister B, whose memory seems almost photographic even at the age of 98! The book is enlivened by photographs from early-to-middle twentieth-century America. A very worthwhile multi-generational read." -Jan Kalickion
Born in 1916, to a Polish-speaking mother, physicist Joseph Byk began his early schooling in rope-tied-baggy-pants-poverty. He was every teachers’ dreaded student, however, he aspired to design vehicles that defy gravity.
Here is the story of a forgotten aerospace stress engineer whose philosophy, calculations, and outspoken opinions saved many lives. Greatest Generation story lovers, World War II hounds, and family members caring for aging parents think of Mister B as a national treasure.
PRAISE FOR MISTER B: A jaunty & terrific confessional of unusual love. If you liked Driving With Miss Daisy, or No Highway in the Sky, Mister B's survival tactics may also help you stay above the curve. - Verified Reader The Modern American Memoirs by Annie Dillard, the Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko, and the cultural vices portrayed in Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, prove that heritage matters when you live in a certain community.
