No Chance Meetings Books & Odd Bits: HOMEPAGE

Carl Hoover is an award winning journalist who covered stories ranging from the international ant farm at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics to the turkey gizzard lady (she works at a turkey processing plant and collects things she finds in turkey gizzards).  He is one of the few people on earth who have visited the Carmen Miranda museum in Rio de Janero and Graceland in Memphis.  Carl's life remains a stirring illustration of the axiom that truth is stranger than fiction.
