Gary Lee Harper is the author of the “A Man of Rubber” subtitled “A True Story of Love, Adventure & The Fine Art of Staying Flexible!”. His story begins with a compelling narrative of how his grandfather Buck survived being run over by a train cutting of his right arm above the elbow and his right leg above the knee. Somehow by “staying flexible, hanging in there, plus patience, persistence & perseverance” he survived to the ripe old age of 73. In 1977 at age 30 Gary & three partners started the first whitewater rafting company to open a shop on the Middle Ocoee River in SE TN and he named over half of the rapids that year. He met his wife, partner & soulmate Beth the following spring & they together worked as guides on the Ocoee in the summer. In the fall they worked rowing 13 to 18 day trips on the 225 miles of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon for a highly respected western outfitter called O.A.R.S. At this same time they together created Man of Rubber, Inc and grew it into a highly successful wholesale supplier to hundreds of whitewater outfitters across North and Central America and they are at RiverGear dot com
