In May – Welty will use his charm to put up 50 or more big signs throughout Duluth<\/p>\n

He will also seek out dozens if not more people to buy 1 to four books for themselves or others. Sales go to Welty Press which Harry will use to buy more books and with residue more campaign funds from his personal profits from book sales.<\/p>\n

Donations will be encouraged on the last page of his eBook on Kindle.<\/p>\n
