|  |
Mel Eiben’s eighty-four years have led him on a fascinating journey with as many twists and turns as the road to Mount Washington. But it has been the Forks in the Road that have given his life its most exciting and dynamic experiences–landing him in the Pacific as captain of an amphibious ship, know as a Landing Craft Tank, during World War II. Back home the young Naval officer, now a husband and father, followed a fork that led him to become one of the steel city’s retail pioneers, culminating in the establishment of the storied Eiben The Forks in the Road is a richly colorful memoir, taking readers back to Eiben’s youth in Depression-era Pittsburgh, through his college years at Duquesne, his war years as a Naval officer and into the post-war period and his career in diamonds, real estate investment, food service and more – much more. The road for Mel Eiben has not always been smooth and he has not always chosen the right path, but his story is presented with such honesty, enthusiasm and heart that the reader knows instinctively that Eiben’s journey was, is, and always will be, filled with joy.
