Building the American Dream depicts the journey of author, Gary
Knapp, from his very beginnings on a rural dairy farm in southern
Michigan through his teens, his tour of duty in the army, his
broadcast training and then follows him as he begins his career in
radio broadcasting and branches into television. Through his
remarkable passion, ingenuity and enormous energy, he overcomes
whatever hurdles he encounters and turns them into advantages which
eventually enable him to build a network of television stations to
serve the northern Michigan area. His journey is fueled by his
inability to accept defeat, his persistence in finding a way to
accomplish his goals by creating innovative financing when the
traditional routes failed him, his trust in, and loyalty to
reliable advisors and a family who supported him through thick and
thin. The reader gets a first hand look at what goes on behind the
scenes in radio and television production, sales and management.
They accompany him as he moves from one phase of his interesting
career to the next. Author Knapp, takes us back to the days of our
childhood and the simple good life about which we all like to
reminisce. We can smell his mom's apple pie baking as the family
gathers around the radio set listening to Fibber McGee and Molly.
He stimulates our memories of past parades, local celebrations,
community events which he covered as a newsman and broadcaster and
recreates the home town atmosphere of typical small towns through
out our country. This book, with its motivational and informative
hints, could be considered a handbook on how to attain one's goals
and dreams, or by some, a guideline showing the steps necessary to
succeed in businessventures and by others, just a 'good read.' Gary
Knapp has brought to life, a story, rich in human interest, history
of radio and television, entrepreneurship and events in the town of
Cadillac, Michigan, where Gary took broadcasting to a higher level
while building his American dream.
