I have lived life well. I have had more than my fair share of near-death experiences. I have been proposed to by 4 different women. I have been an instructor in the Air Force. I have started, ran and sold 2 businesses. I am a fisherman and a woodworker. I am a son, a father, a husband, a brother, and a grandfather. I have travelled much of the world and will continue to do so until I can’t. I think it important that my family, my children, and my grandchildren know how life shaped me into “Grandpa Chuck”. This book was written for them.
