At age 95, George Pintar decided to conclude his publishing career with several new educational and entertaining short stories to remember him by.
Chile Charlie has spent much of his life doing what was expected of him-but there comes a time when even a storyteller needs a new adventure. Stuck in an unfulfilling office job and fascinated by the airplanes flying overhead at a nearby small airport, Charlie writes himself a simple challenge: Find out what it feels like to fly. That one sentence changes everything and sets him on a journey he never expected to take. This was one of several Short Stories in this book. Along the way, Charlie encounters people who become friends, mentors, and fellow adventurers. Each experience adds another chapter to his remarkable story and reminds him that age is not necessarily a barrier to discovery.

As the morning unfolds and the Organ Mountains glow in the rising sun, Charlie discovers that winning the race isn't nearly as important as the friendships, memories, and unexpected moments that make the journey worthwhile. In the spirit of Chile Charlie, this is a story about laughter, loyalty, adventure-and finding a little magic in the dust and desert sky.
Charlie's Last Ride is a warm, humorous, and inspiring story about adventure, friendship, courage, and the pursuit of a dream. With the spirit of the Southwest as its backdrop, Charlie's journey invites readers to ask themselves an important question: What adventure might still be waiting for you?
