More about the book
The memoir chronicles R.J. Nelson's transformative eleven-year tenure as CEO of the Hammond Port Authority, which faced bankruptcy and turmoil. After being dismissed from the Chicago Park District, he took on the challenge of revitalizing a struggling marina. The introduction of casino gambling significantly altered the port's trajectory and the city of Hammond. Nelson shares intriguing anecdotes involving waterfront tragedies and eccentric characters, including a yacht captain who famously contended that "there is no such thing as the unvarnished truth."
