Valdez shares his life story--the story of how a fatherless, westside Latino paperboy, destined to become a respected judge, is plucked off a cold, wintery street corner by an Anglo businessman who mentors and fathers him. Nearly 40 years later, Valdez, returns the favor when he finds Keller on the street, alone and destitute, a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
No One Makes It Alone, is a true story of how a fatherless, westside Latino paperboy -destined to be a respected judge -is plucked off a cold, wintery street corner by an Anglo businessman who mentors and fathers him. It was Jack Keller's love and caring -and the game of tennis- that taught Andy Valdez about honesty, competition, honor and fair play. Tennis opened the door to a new world of possibilities- and Andy walked through. Nearly forty years later, Judge Andrew A. Valdez, returns the favor when he finds Keller on the street, alone and destitute, a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. No One Makes It Alone comes full circle and offers hope to each of us. No matter who we are, what color our skin, what side of the tracks we call home or what our country of origin, there are far more similarities than differences between us.
