The ArchThe Arch, a work of historical fiction, is the dramatic life story of an Austrian immigrant, Charlie Wilhelm. Charlie was born in 1918 in Vienna near the end of World War I, and died in 2016 some 97 ½ years later. He was born when the transition from the horse to the automobile was not complete, commercial air travel did not exist, the radio only experimental and electricity along with indoor plumbing were mostly available only in cities. He lived through two world wars, a Great Depression and that was just the first twenty-seven years of his life. He would go on to witness many other wars, space travel, a man walk on the moon and the internet with all its ramifications. It is doubtful that any generation, past or future, ever did or ever will experience more change. His amazing life, filled with excitement, adventure, love and tragedy, makes for an entertaining and compelling story. But it is, mostly, a story about HOPE.
