An American Possiblity: Mike, Tell Us the Story About...

$12.95 $13.56

By Mike Maschmeier. Eurekan Maschmeier weaves a contemplative but very enjoyable tale from a Midwest then Californian childhood to a life of travel and working many trades around the country. These included carnie, truck driver, movie projectionist, vacuum cleaner salesman, pizza seller, getting a fisheries degree at HSU, becoming a game warden, coping with earthquakes and floods, being a Hospice volunteer, a dedicated fisherman and even helping with Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

       Filled with humor, lively anecdotes and philosophical perception, this recounting of a life well led is definitely something to share.
