Abstract:
From A Mothers words urging her son to succeed, comes this uplifting story of a young boys search for his American Dream. With some down home humor, Richard writes about his humble beginning. Starting to work at 12 years old, he strives for a better future and a talent for painting helps him get a job as a Theatre Artist.

Arriving home from Service as a Draftsman in the U.S. Navy, he meets and marries the love of his life. Employing the Screen Printing process, with her at his side, they make it a business, and their dreams become reality.
