Produktbeschreibung
The city of Revere was one of the first suburbs of Boston, located approximately five miles north of the city. It is best known for its three-mile crescent-shaped beach that has entertained throngs of visitors through the years, but the beach is only a small fraction of the history of this great city. From shopping on Broadway, Revere Street, or Shirley Avenue to local names such as Horatio Alger Jr., Tony Conigliaro, and singer Jack Haley, Revere's history is explored through vintage images, many never before published. This book is a look back at a sweeter time, when a trip on the narrow-gauge railroad was a delightful adventure and the street was a more animated place for residents to sit and visit with neighbors.

Autorenporträt
William is a native Californian who was born in Los Angeles in January, 1961. In 1991, after serving and being honorably discharged from the Armed Forces, getting married and fathering a son. William sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Brain surgery was a given, but no one expected the stroke that occurred during the procedure. William's life expired for 11 minutes, and although he lost the use of half his body, he gained an extraordinary ability: the ability to use words to fuel hearts with the strength of joy and charge minds with the power of wisdom. Fortunately, movement was restored to his right leg. He also delightfully shocked medical personnel, family, and friends by fathering a miracle daughter. This is what motivated William to remove the "quit option" from his life, moving forward. William now dedicates his time inspiring others that they, too, can overcome the gravitational pull of challenges that hold them down.
