Paul Gerhard Prestegaard was a die-hard, square-jawed Norwegian, with all the principles and authoritativeness that description summons. He was also a fun- loving family man who lived to tell stories, none more so than his own set forth here. Included in his pithy commentaries are a brush with Lindbergh before the famous Paris flight, building several businesses from scratch, the path to secure several patents and overall living a large life. Included also are investment recommendations honed from hard experience, remembrances by family and friends, and a historic family timeline.
