X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This heartfelt book&nbsp\;highlights his&n
 bsp\;journey to bring together the stories and wisdom of grandfathers from
  all walks of life&mdash\;all with a mission to nurture the next great gen
 eration.</p>\n<p>When author Ted Page found out he was going to be a grand
 pa\, he did a web search to learn more about the experience in store for h
 im\, but all he could find were references to the movie&nbsp\;<em>Bad Gran
 dpa</em>. He couldn&rsquo\;t help but wonder\, &ldquo\;Where are the good 
 ones?&rdquo\; Page started a blog\, GoodGrandpa.com\, and set out to talk 
 with grandfathers across a diverse spectrum. This included an NFL pro athl
 ete\, a priest\, a rabbi\, an imam\, newsman Tom Brokaw\, comedy legend Jo
 hn Cleese\, Chinese and Indians\, physicians adapting to disability\, an a
 ir force general\, a Vietnam combat vet\, and many more&mdash\;plus his Au
 nt Lois and the Dalai Lama\, because why not?</p>\n<p>Along the way\, Page
  delved into family histories&mdash\;his own and those of the grandpas he 
 interviewed&mdash\;to reveal fascinating stories and lessons for living a 
 good life. In every conversation he asked grandpas for their number one mo
 st important piece of wisdom&mdash\;one thing that could help our grandchi
 ldren grow to become the greatest generation of all time. Would the collec
 tive wisdom Page gathered turn out to be one singular idea\, or a constell
 ation of north stars that illuminate a path toward a better future? A unif
 ied and unforgettable picture does in fact emerge.</p>\n<p><em>Good Grandp
 a</em>&nbsp\;is inspiring\, uplifting\, evocative\, and filled with genuin
 e emotion. It is a recipe of hope for a divided America\, and the book tha
 t will be on every grandparent&rsquo\;s reading list.</p>\n<p>Register tod
 ay and find out why Ted Page says&nbsp\;&ldquo\;our greatest generation is
  to come.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Ted Page is a
