 Chuck
Acquisto
Chuck is a lawyer and proud father who wanted to do something special
to celebrate the arrival of his firstborn child, Nicholas James
Acquisto. One month after Nick's birth, Chuck secretly began writing
every day to at least one successful person in the world, asking for
advice on achieving success in life to pass along to his son. Former
President
George Bush was the first to reply to Nicholas. Then Oprah. Charlton
Heston sent his autobiography with his letter to Nick. Comedian/actor
Robin Williams responded, twice. To Chuck’s surprise, scores of mostly
handwritten letters continued to arrive at his law office. Nine
baseball Hall of Famers, eight Academy Award winners, seven golfing
legends, six Heisman Trophy recipients, five best-selling authors, four
Top 40 singers, three famous attorneys, two former U.S. Presidents (and
the current President) and a "Patridge Family" star are a small sample
of the hundreds of responses received by Nicholas. Wisdom
to Grow on: Incredible Letters And Inspiring
Advice for Getting the Most Out of Life
is the
result, a touching,
inspirational collection of letters of advice from a wide range of
sports legends, politicians, beloved entertainers and many other famous
individuals, giving a young boy advice on how to achieve success. The
book has been featured in many print and broadcast media outlets,
including the Tri-Valley Herald. Chuck
is donating all the book's proceeds to the San Francisco-based Good Tidings Foundation.
