Every Town Needs A Castle
How does relentlessly and certifiably cementing together collapsed freeways, splintering telephone polls, riverbed rocks, discarded Feather River mineshaft beams, neighbors†ketchup bottles, and junk become a book about leadership, wisdom, and ethics?Is this a phunny or serious book? Is it an old-fashioned template, camouflaged by stunts, whimsy, adventures, and childish beliefs, that can grow bigger, wiser people? Can pulling callous-building ropes, wrestling with thingamajigs, and raising barns build community and enlighten public and personal policies?Come inside and discover.

If you...
Enjoyed the stories and creed of Little House on the Prairie, the inventiveness of MacGyver, the playful, thirsty quest for adventure of Quixote and Sancho Panza…
Wonder why this book is considered a stealth public policy manual on how to build healthy, functional communities in today’s consumed, troubled, depression tilting America…
Then you'll probably enjoy my most recent hi-tech scribbling venture, Every Town Needs a Castle, which happily provides mirthful exploration on the above and related subjects that roam from recycling bags of neighbors ketchup bottles into Castle walls to battling with the Koch brothers before they became a household name…
And if you want another book about extraordinary people, look at Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary: The Story of Ed and Joyce Koupal and the Initiative Process listed by Ralph Nader as one of 2009's Top Ten books to read

Having lived the book, how could I don anything but like... And more than just me miss the wonderful community that existed at Rubelia...If every town had one of these, we'd be a richer and smarter country...Peek inside and you may find out why.
Sometimes when I wait for my laptop to boot up all those laborious Rubelian and public policy files it carries in its siliconed chips, I flip open Every Town Needs a Castle for a re-read, and it almost always makes me smile… or sometimes tear-up. If you approach the sometimes burdensome world with a smile and overalls, it should do the same for you.

This is one of the most unique books I have ever read -
starts with a rather obscure storyline and proceeds to develop a wonderful journey of freedom, dedication, and worldview.
Famous people drop in and out of this wonderland, but it is the quirky and brilliant individuals who provide the sweat,
brains, and philosophy that epitomize the true spirit of community that was the goal of so many causes of the '60s.
This true narrative introduces the reader to more interesting characters than can be found in any book of fiction!
A fun read, and an inspirational message - -and a lot of head scratching and soul searching ... what more can you ask for?
