Born on an unpaved Alabama country road during the Great Depression, he nearly died twice during infancy, nearly drowned as a teenager, then escaped death as a young man while flying on a small plane. Through multiple near death experiences, he says that God was always in his corner. As a young man, the Summer of 1955 was filled with magic. He worked as a newspaperman and as a public relations professional. He witnessed an angry mob that beat up black Freedom Riders at the Montgomery Bus Depot. He was saved by a State Public safety director. Others were not so lucky. View America through the eyes of a country boy who grew up to become a successful business executive, state legislator, and Washington lobbyist. It will give you a greater appreciation of how far we have come as a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlie Grainger, a native of Alabama, recounts his views of the historic changes that occurred as only a close observed could have.
