An inspirational memoir

Some people think excelling in one area is simply not enough. "The Grandfather of Possibilities" is the story of Ron Klein. Ron Klein, voted 2003's athlete of the year, well past what most people would consider the prime of their lives, is also an entrepreneur and inventor. Multi-talented and undeterred even still, "The Grandfather of Possibilities" is an inspirational memoir that encourages people to not believe in the word 'can't'.

Amazing life, so inspiring! Delightful reading.

Such an inspiring life and so delightfully written. I enjoyed every minute of it. Bia Florida

Adoring encouragement

Reviewed by Dr. Michael Philliber for RebeccasReads (12/08) There are love letters, and there are works of love. Arlene Klein has given us a work of love with "The Grandfather of Possibilities: Inventor - Entrepreneur - Athlete". This little, 98-page piece, is truly an inspirational biography about the author's husband, Ron Klein. There is no doubt that Arlene Klein adores her husband, and there is no doubt that Ron Klein is a brilliant and resourceful man. Better than any stone memorial or statue, Arlene Klein has skillfully written of the achievements of her husband, bringing out the radiance of his can-do attitude, his inventiveness, his love for her, their children and grandchildren, their Wilshire Terriers, and life itself. "The Grandfather of Possibilities: Inventor - Entrepreneur - Athlete" is a short read that would take the average person no longer than two hours to accomplish, but it will be a fun, stirring, uplifting two hours. If you're looking for a break from the plastic novels, depressing news journals, and brain-crushing technical material, then I would recommend taking a short jaunt into the peaceful waters of "The Grandfather of Possibilities: Inventor - Entrepreneur - Athlete" for a little R and R for your soul. And the next time you use your credit card, you'll happily remember Ron Klein, and his sunny "Yes I can" outlook. Thanks Arlene.

Grandfather of Possibilities

For me, Ron Klein has and always will be an inspiration. Arlene wrote beautifully and with such love about her husband. Anyone who knows them, are aware how inspirational Ron is. Those who are looking for inspiration in their life, Arlene's book of Ron's life shows what "positive attitude" can bring to one's self and family. DMT
