Author Chuck Olson’s New Book, “From Basement to Rose Garden,” Invites Readers to Discover Why 18 Million is a Key Number in the Author’s Life and Its Larger Meaning
Calabash, NC, May 09, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Chuck Olson, who grew up with a learning disability and lived in a basement with his mother who was determined to help him succeed, has completed his new book, “From Basement to Rose Garden”: an impactful memoir that shares the story of how the author persevered, struggling to make his dreams come true. The desire for success drove him to achieve in areas where he had no knowledge or formal education to obtain. His prayers were heard and answered.
Author Chuck Olson excelled in athletics and sales, founding and co-founding many businesses in a myriad of industries. He had to learn from scratch. The highlight of his business career was to be honored in person by the president and vice president in Washington, DC. This memoir will uncover the rest of the story.
Olson writes, “This memoir was started ten years ago. I now have the time and feel the need to do justice with this project. I’m ninety-one years old, sitting by the window in Calabash, North Carolina (known as the seafood capital of the world), looking at a six-foot alligator in the pond behind our home (we call it Chuck’s pond). It surrounds the par three signature hole of the golf course. To reach this green, one must cross Liz’s bridge as we call it. I still have most of my facilities, no gray hair, a hinged brace on my left knee, and drive with one hand. After forty-two moves, many years of struggles, hardships (learning experiences), and bruises, I have achieved my lifelong goal in a very interesting journey which I wish to share with you.”

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
