Robert Ballard


Biography

I am a retired blue collar worker and a new author. After helping with a community library project, I became interested in writing. My style of writing is very simple and direct with humor and about life experiences and in a style very much like a story teller with tales and stories about the place and people from where I have my roots. I have been compared to James Michener by one reviewer.

In this book I give an overview of the mill, the village, our school, and a variety of stories about the people and the businesses. My growing up years were influenced by these wonderful people and this is my tribute as created in my memory.
