Historical Events from Personal Perspectives

Grandpa's Money is about growing up in small-town Middle America. The steel plant across the river in the big city suddenly closed. My grandfather and hundreds of others were fired. The pension funds were gone.

Decades later, I followed the money trail from St. Louis, to Chicago, New York, Detroit, Phoenix, and finally Las Vegas finding out how others conspired to create, then destroy the American Dream of the Middle Class.

 Instead of long boring chapters, I write fun short stories about my friends, family, cars, college, dating the girls, romancing the wife, marriage and starting our small business in the big city, then getting back some of Grandpa's Money.
