ABOUT THE BOOK

“Footprints”, we all make them during our voyage through life and the direction we travel and the quality of the footprints each of us produce during our Earthly existence is left up to each individual. We who live in America are, in my opinion, the luckiest people in the entire world! We are free to dream, set our own goals and alter the quality and direction of our lives as we see fit. Each of us has the freedom to try new things, reach for the stars and accomplish miracles – once we realistically evaluate our person physical and mental capabilities and their limitations! Even persons born into humble beginnings have the ability to achieve their dreams and leave their footprints on the landscape of history. This is my story – which began in very humble beginnings – of my journey through life and the trail of footprints I am leaving behind. Enjoy my adventure!
