On Bricktown Canal

True stories of real people fill these emotional pages with laughter and tears, romance and tragedy, written with warmth of character from an author who keeps you turning pages. More than the amazing incidents on board his boat, Captain Dale takes his reader on a tour up and down Bricktown canal describing sights, sounds, and even aromas of restaurants as his boat floats along the canal. And there is more. In detail he tells what it is like to drive a Water Taxi boat. Everything he writes is from the boat captain's perspective. In addition, Captain Dale's year driving boats was during Oklahoma City's massive, historic urban renewal. He describes what it was like working downtown as the city changed daily before his very eyes. For those who have ridden a Water Taxi boat on Bricktown canal, this book is a souvenir. For those never having been to Oklahoma City, this book gives a human touch to Oklahoma's historic friendly culture and loving care for one another, as evidenced by The Oklahoma Standard, officially recognized after the Oklahoma City bombing. On Bricktown Canal is dedicated to Bulldozer, a crested duck who begins and ends the book. If you peek at the end of the book before reading it, you might wish you'd saved the best till last.
