Remembering Arlie: A Glimpse Into a Remarkable Life

This moving story as told by the principal subject, Philip Arlington Nuetzel, will reinforce your belief in the American Dream. He was the son of a railroad engineer with only an eighth grade education. His first job was grocery delivery by horse drawn cart at age twelve with a .38 at the ready on his hip. He worked his way through the shops to the executive suite and became an internationally renowned machine tool magnate. To put his lifetime into perspective for you, he witnessed the first electric light, the first automobile, the first airplane, the sinking of the Titanic, and the first television. He saw a man walk on the Moon. He never knew what a cell phone was nor a video camera, a compact disk, a personal computer or an iPod. He never heard of the World Wide Web, he never Googled or Yahooed. He immersed himself in legal secretary correspondence courses and, following a fairy tale marriage, he traded his shop clothes for a suit and tie to begin his steady and determined rise to success. Remembering Arlie is an intimate glimpse at a principled and talented "can do" individual and is suitable for all ages.
