It is with great pleasure that I announce the edition of the first, regular contributor to TalkFrank, Mr. Edward Carchia.
In a former life, Mr. Carchia owned and operated a very successful Advertising Agency in central New Jersey. This provided not only a very good living for Ed and his family, but also an outlet for a wonderfully creative human being. Now in retirement, he can devote his passion and energy to his latest endeavor, writing.
It’s that creative human being which will be on display here, at TalkFrank. And Ed is creative in so many ways, especially in his life. A quote from Port Moresby, the main character in Paul Bowles’ The Sheltering Sky describing his lust for experience probably sums up Ed’s life best; “I am not a tourist, I am a traveler”.
As an Army veteran, he used the post WWII GI Bill to pursue his education and travel the world. Ed traveled to exotic and sometimes dangerous locations long before it was trendy to do so. And he always did it with his eyes open, eager to embrace life on its own terms.
He has injected that passion, knowledge, and experience into his creative writing now to be featured at Talk Frank.
As Ed and I share a Sicilian heritage, I like to look upon him in a term of honor used by Sicilians, uomo di rispetto or man of respect. He is indeed.
Please enjoy the wonderful writing of Mr. Edward Carchia.
