Building Shipwright Success on Life's Miracles, is a history lesson and fascinating memoir of Richard Goldbach's participation in programs for building, maintaining, modernizing and recycling U.S. Navy ships. He played an important role in these programs while also addressing the welfare of his workers, the civic needs of his community, the security challenges to his Nation, and the environmental demands of the Planet. Through all of the trials and tribulations of heading the most successful repair shipyard in the country, Rich Goldbach's efforts paid off in ensuring that all employees of Metro Machine Corp. in Norfolk, Virginia and Pennsylvania, reaped the benefits of the most successful ESOP in the country.
