Resilience and Determination - Hardcover

by Al Wachter (Author)

When Al Wachter moved to Indianapolis at the tender age of 20, his future was full of questions. Would he like his new home? Was his life going in the right direction? Could he sell paper?

More than 60 years later, he's discovered answers to all these questions and many more. Starting out living in the spare bedroom of his boss' house, he built a career, a family and eventually a company that has thrived in Indiana and beyond for nearly 50 years. This is the story of that company and a life dedicated to building it.

This is also the story of growing up as the son of immigrants. His parents fled Nazi Germany in 1937 and arrived in America with only a few dollars in their pockets. They built their own business and overcame many hardships to raise a family that enjoyed all the benefits of the American dream. Their example has always been Al's inspiration and their story is an extraordinary example of the power of determination.
