About the Book
The Legacy of the Boy With The Red Necktie, a Robert Tomas Garcia Biography is the story of a boy born in 1953, to a family a few years after the depression. Although the depression had already passed, a comfortable life in America depended on working hard, getting a good education,being self-motivated and setting personal goals. R.T. had a bicycle, a dog named Brownie, a love of baseball and a desire to grow up and have a desk job where he could wear a coat and necktie everyday to work. Because he loved being around people and helping them solve their problems,he eventually became a high school counselor at an alternative high school within a public school district. He had a love for the business world too and enjoyed buying and selling antiques and sports memorabilia. One of his prized possessions was a 1966. Ford Mustang that he drove to work everyday as a counselor. His favorite baseball player was Roberto Clemente who I believe eventually inspired him in selecting counseling as his career in order to help people to succeed in their own lives because Roberto Clemente was not only a great baseball player but a great humanitarian as well. This is my story about my husband’s legacy and his life of service to others. May it bless you in reading it as it did me while being witness to it throughout the decades.
