    A Dream That Came True
    Author

    Carl J. Gasper

    I am seventy-four years young. During my life, I enjoyed owning a company that provided me with some wonderful and memorable experiences. In 2001, after fourteen years of hard work, twenty-four seven, 365 days a year, I retired from my business. I had many remarkable experiences and stories that I often shared with others. From time to time, my friends and acquaintances would say, "I want to hear more! You should write a book." I think the time is right to share my stories with the world.
