Sinossi

If you enjoyed the 1994 fictitious movie Forrest Gump, you'll love Roy Story, the remarkable, rags-to-riches true account of the colorful, comical and quick-witted Roy Bucek, who succeeded beyond his wildest dreams on the football field, the battlefield and in numerous business fields with a combination of a tremendously strong backbone and an incomparable funny bone. Bucek came from such poverty that he and his family barely noticed the so-called "Great Depression." His athleticism earned him a college scholarship, where he became the first official track and field All-American in Texas A&M history and helped the 1939 Aggies win the football national championship. Bucek lost his eye in the historic Battle of the Bulge in World War II, but he became a man of remarkable entrepreneurial vision. He built so many successful businesses in Schulenburg, Texas that he resided in a sprawling home he built just south of Interstate-10 and at the end of...Bucek Street. His fascinating stories are guaranteed to mesmerize you and motivate you to pursue your own dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. Roy Story is a captivating read that will take you back in time and challenge you to build a brighter future.

L'autore

Roy Bucek lived the "American Dream" to its absolute fullest, chasing jackrabbits as an impoverished farm boy in the 1920s and spending the rest of his remarkable life chasing down dreams. Along the way, Bucek became an All-American hurdler at Texas A&M; a national champion in football in 1939; a Purple Heart winner in World War II; an entrepreneur of incredible resourcefulness; a visionary with one plastic eye; and a legendary story-teller. Rusty Burson is a Vice President with the 12th Man Foundation and the Associate Editor of 12th Man Magazine, where he has covered all Texas A&M sports since 1996. Burson, a 1990 graduate of Sam Houston State, has authored 11 previous books and is a former sportswriter with the Galveston Daily News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
