Lines I write to you Are taken from deep in my heart Nothing better can I do Each word is a gift So begins an endearing and loving tribute to Clint Kelly's great love, Sue. Their story begins in the days of the Great Depression, at college in their home state of Illinois. A blind date leads to a happy 'until death do us part.' But marriage doesn't equal a fairy-tale life. Jobs are difficult to find, so the couple must take what they can get, even if that means separation from each other. Soon Sue is teaching in a small rural school, and Clint is miles away, trying his hand at being a salesman before finally locating a job as a teacher. Just when the couple is getting settled into life together, Clint is drafted for World War II. But the two are never apart in spirit. After the war, the couple locates teaching jobs and settles into a community.

Join Clint as he falls in love all over again with the woman who stole his heart, his wife of sixty-two years who brought him Romance for Life. You may fall in love with his tale.
Born a sharecropper in rural Alabama in 1930, Theodore A. (Ted) Mack, Sr., fought in the Korean War and then played football at Ohio State while earning a college degree. Brewing and selling beer, he believed, would be just another peak to attain. After all, it couldn't be more challenging than his experience in organizing buses to the March on Washington or picketing segregated schools in Milwaukee. This is the story of Mack's purchase of Peoples Brewing Company in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Though he had carefully planned for the historic acquisition, he underestimated the subtle bigotry of Middle America, the corruption of the beer industry, and the failures of the federal government that plagued his ownership. Mack's ownership of Peoples Brewing is an inspirational story of Black entrepreneurship, innovation and pride at a time when America was at an important racial justice crossroads.
