Glad You Got To See Me
By: Paul J. Faber
Paul J. Faber was born and raised near the small, rural town of Dumont, Iowa. He left for the Marine Corp at seventeen years old. After boot camp, being stationed in Japan, and being a guard for President Eisenhower, he was stationed at the American Embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland. Along with all of his other adventures, one of the most significant was meeting his Icelandic wife of now sixty years, Karin. Later, Faber was transferred to Spain, and he and Karin were married on the Rock of Gibraltar with monkeys as their wedding guests. They later returned to live on a farm just outside of Dumont, Iowa.
Faber has had a unique and interesting career, and throughout his career and his marriage, he has been a storyteller. While living in Nebraska, he was an adventurer and would sometimes take his daughter with him on his adventures. She was always captivated by his stories. She grew up and had two daughters of her own who appreciate Faber being their biggest fan and being the subject of many of Opa's stories. Faber knows no strangers, and after most every visit, he says in his jovial way, Glad you got to see me! Reading this book of stories is as easy as sitting with Paul and having a cup of coffee and imagining yourself in one of many of Opa's adventures. Enjoy!
