For 25 years, Bob Babcock has been collecting stories from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans and urging other Baby Boomers to write down their stories before it's too late. During the COVID19 pandemic lockdown, he decided to take his own advice. Looking Back & Smiling chronicles Bob's life from growing up in small town Oklahoma, to his service in the Army, his many years with IBM, the last two decades of publishing memories, and other life memories that he now looks back on fondly. He is hopeful that his story will inspire others of the Baby Boomer and older generations to write their memoir before it is too late.
