It left me happy, but with tears.

<P>

All the business success was interesting, but was meaningless with out the success in relationships, the most important of those are of course the ones with Shelly and his mother.

A really well done story. There isn't much else to say about it.

So well done. Coaster, you are quite a story teller. The business dealing, the character developments, the weaving of sub-story threads, all are top notch. <p> It is a very entertaining story, as fine as you'll find at this site. It will be an enduring winner.

excellent!...great storytelling

I an enjoyed the overall story, but have to comment that there seemed to be too many hapenings crammed into this last chapter.

I really really like your stories! Thanks again!

enjoyed it!!! good story & well written ;o))

Lovely story with believable and interesting themes . My one observation is that you seemed in a hurry to finish up the story in the last chapter, whereas I thought that you allowed some of the earlier chapters to drag a bit and failed to extend the ending to allow the reader to enjoy a little more detail in the closing successful auto franchise venture and the growth of the extended family .

My family has been in the car business since the 40's and my grandfather started out as a mechanic and before retiring owned dealerships and some gas stations. My father had some of both also as i grew up, so this was in a way like reading a story about my grandfather but with a different name.

5 Stars

Really enjoyed this...from start to finish! Thanks!

Well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.

I was thinking, it might have been nice to pay a visit to Midge for her help when Shelly was starting out.

I have to agree with Karen, Midge deserved a visit and I was even thinking that one of her children would come to work in Williams. I guess this was a case of paying forward.

I really enjoy your work

I do enjoy a story about True and Real Love and family. All the characters were truly wonderful people. I kept waiting for the snake-in-the-grass to show up. Was very happy that everybody ended up happy and in love. Thanks for a great and enjoyable story. (I may now have to read all your stores.)

Working hard, getting ahead, and finding happiness. OldBearSwitch

Thank you. This is a great story.

right on.

thankyou for another bloody good read.

cheers

It’s rare to read a story devoid of black hat wearing antagonists. Just a story of a life well lived and deservedly rewarded with the love and friendship of those who’s lives he’d impacted and brightened. Thank you.

I first commented about this story 10 years ago. It seems my expectations and opinion of stories posted here has changed in those 10 years.

Today, this story seems to be a thesis for Business 101 and belongs in a college classroom, not a literary erotica web site.

There is always heart ache and sorrow filled with , the most happiest of times. good is where you find it if you can see that far in front of you . First you must care about others as much as your self, . love your story cudo's

Terrific story, but the ending was very rushed. It went on and on about the business, then a much too brief ending about their personal lives.

Great read, thanks for the story. I’m a lifelong whatcom county resident and bellingham for the last 20 years. Juergen ripping down chuckanut! Hahaha

this kind of ending is, nothing new for COASTER maybe 1 or 2 that did have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful and loving tale about family, saving and creating new businesses and finding your true love along the way. The chapter labeled August 12, 1989 should have been the Epilogue. Overall it was a wonderful and entertaining read. 5 stars

It's a wonderful loving story.

A tale of the triumph of adversity I'm in love over anything and actually no treachery involved.

I'm going to sleep after having just read this and the sister one will feel and have had this story.

Well not just me but all of us.

You are a wonderful writer thank you so much for your efforts.

Different word flow in some ways to other of your stories I’ve read @Coaster2, that’s not to say better or worse, just different. A really good narration of some of the golden times in the auto industry, I’d have loved to have heard how they crew took to the early Quattro’s, or that matter the Subaru Impreza WRX, really good characters as well, loved it! Thanks for writing and posting, cheers Ppfzz.

Great story.Thanks very much.

You almost lost me with Chapter 9. I understand showing an alternate POV of specific events, but I felt it was just a rehash of the previous chapters. This chapter re-centered the story, and I am glad I stuck around for it.

This story was great! Thanks

A good gentle story. Every story doesn’t need deadly conflict.

This could well be the story of one of my cousins and his son. Both multimillionaires several times over through risk and hard work.
