INTRODUCTION TO "CALL EARL OF ALASKA" Born a child to a single
mother struggling through the early years of the Great Depression,
by the age of ten he lived in eleven different homes. By the age of
fifteen, this juvenile found himself in a reformatory institution
in the state of Pennsylvania. A rough road was traveled by this
troubled youth until he was released to serve in the U.S. Army at
age 18. He was shipped to the South Pacific at the end of World War
II. Returning to the states did not go well for this man of 22
years who suddenly found himself in a federal prison in Ohio. He
later found himself in the chain gang of the North Carolina prison
system. But within ten years, he organized a union company in
Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. What changed this man who becomes a
manager with the World Wide Bowling Corp. to owning his own
business? Suddenly he meets the right woman, they get married, and
head off to Alaska. Few people knew of his past troubles, not even
his wife, for many years. Upon arriving in Anchorage, the former
"criminal" becomes a model citizen coaching and managing Babe Ruth
and American Legion baseball teams and, under the sponsorship of
the Boys Clubs of Alaska, he helps to develop a city wide
basketball program for over 20 years. He created the High School
Baseball Program and the Thursday night professional boxing
program. At the same time during the 29 years, he becomes a very
successful small business person iconized as "Call Earl of Alaska."
From a lost youth to a youth motivator, from a chain gang to
business leader. A fascinating book you will not place on the shelf
until completely read. A true American rags to riches life story.
