IRON MAN (Gene Wesley Marshall) Meets IRON BOY (David Paul Marshall)

Father & Son Tell Different Tales in Revolutionary 1960sAt several points during the 20-year germination of IRON BOY, I considered telling the tale in rotating voices between myself as a child and my father (Gene Marshall) as the adult who had chosen to bring us into “The Order: Ecumenical.” However, both my editor and literary agent dissuaded me from doing so, saying that my own story would ring true to the reader, but that I could not effectively speak my father’s words. I approached Dad with the possibility of doing this parallel version, but he said he was too busy writing his theology books to collaborate on this project with me. Then last year, we both published our memoirs, mine about just twelve years of my early life, and his about his whole life, but parts track each other in time and place: 1960s in Chicago. So here is my edited rendition of the early chapters of that parallel father-son story. Uncanny how two people can live side by side and tell such different tales. I’ll start with how we both experienced “The Order” at first blush in 1962 and 1963. If you are interested in reading more about this parallel father-son universe, let me know in the comments section, and I’ll add another chapter or two on Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/marshallbooks/p/iron-boy-meets-iron-man?utm_c… David Marshall Order Class of 1974

How would we rewrite this?

The current pope is calling for a re-reading and study of the documents from Vatican II ‘62-65 as they give guidance for these days. Our councils and formation date from this same time period. I wonder what we would say? https://www.facebook.com/share/1CJhetcnS5/ Jim Wiegel “…the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy. Come and let us talk“. The Sunflowers.
