Growing Up Basque
2/20/2017 3:19:13 PM


This Book is a work in progress. A look back at growing up Basque in America. The Butler family patriarch Pete Minaberry was pure blood Basquo and greatly influenced his children and grandchildren with his quiet-hardworking ways. Pete left his Homeland at age 17 and would never again see his parent's Faces again or all but two of his siblings(originally numbering nine). It is a sweet tale of a strong bond of love inside an immigrant family whose culture is known more for their culinary dishes & political -justice struggles than the strength of their famiilies

This is the Book project closest to my heart. A memoir of growing up
Basque in a very Americanized culture in the 1950's.
This project has been in the works for a few years. I am still finding journal
Notes from long ago that can be stirred into the final soup.
It is often harder to write of those private experiences that lie so much
closer to the vest.
Yet they are most likely the most important stories we will tell as writers of our personal journeys. Giving our readers a front row seat to real life truth. and genuine drama.
It also serves as a sacred exercise in coming to understand the roots of our beginning. To truly know the deep Influences that set the way for who we
would become.
