I read the manuscript cover to cover - it was great. -US Congressman Fred Upton "During my time as President of Goodwill Industries, International, I had the privilege of meeting and working with many dedicated and impressive local CEO's, but none more so than David Davey. Perhaps because he had personally overcome a disability himself, Dave had a special bond with the individuals whom he served. I spent eight years as a member of the US House of Representatives, but it was from people like Dave Davey that I learned the true meaning of public service." -Fred Grandy - Gopher on "The Love Boat" Actor, Radio Personality Grab a tissue as you read how 12 year old David Davey survived nine months in the hospital, recovering from Polio.
