Biographie de l'auteur

Charles was born in Pennsylvania in 1930 in Vandergrift, a steel mill town renowned for being designed by the famous architect Olmstead. His Father died when he was 12 leaving his Mother with another two year old son and little means of support.

And so he did by quitting school and departing the area on the day he turned 18. This is the story of his trials and tribulations, his stubborn journey and the wonderful events that brought him great satisfaction and Mai-Britt the love of his life.
