Have Hammer ... Will Bang

About the Book

Have Hammer Will Bang tells the life story of Walter Wilcox Cheney from 1938 to 2006. Starting with nothing but a high school degree and four and a half years spent in the Air Force, Walt developed land and built homes on the New Hampshire seacoast with vision and determination until his business was worth millions. Just as he had reached the pinnacle of his career, culminating in the opening of Moody Point, the real estate crash combined with the savings and loan debacle of the 90's decimated his companies and brought him to his knees. Daily he had to fight to save his companies and himself from bankruptcy as the economy and life in that region spiraled down into a recession. Although it took years longer than he thought it would, Walt survived the worst. His story proves that the power of positive thinking and believing in yourself can help you survive when nothing else will. Having found a new passion for life in his grandchildren, he is now working on leaving everything to them and hopes to pass on to them his love of life and the passion he once had for his work.
