While he was growing up, he would visit his grandfather, who was a pioneer circuit rider pastor. His grandfather would tell stories to his grandchildren about living on a horse riding his circuit of remote outlying towns in the wilds of Northern Alberta in the early 1900s. Robert began telling his stories around a campfire surrounded by the children on the camping trips. Mr. Schwermann’s worked in Lassen National Park on a trail crew and then spent many years working as a powerhouse operator in remote Northern California Power Plants. His love and understanding of the outdoors was nurtured during this time of his life. Now retired from a forty-six-year career in electric power system operations and merchant operations, he spends his time between Truckee, California, and the Sacramento area. He is an avid skier and cyclist. Mr. Schwermann’s eight grandchildren are a source of inspiration for his storytelling, which continues most evenings either around a campfire or as bedtime stories.view less
