The Uncommon Men

By Jerry L. Fitzgerald

I started this book a few months ago, I thought I would be doing it myself, but my son gave me some stories. I decided to call the book, 'The Uncommon Men'.

 

The stories in the book may have happened to you. Of course, we have different ages of involvement at different places.

Jerry L. Fitzgerald

The author is from a small town in Ohio. The town becomes noticeable when he was ten years old and still up on the map. He went to a small elementary school, first to eighth grade and then to high school with five other elementary school students as a freshman. He started with his homeroom in the journalist room, which was there until he graduated. He headed in the large university. All kinds of things happened from then and now-car accident, heart attack-and back outside of the same small town, there he started with. Retired from teaching and now working on this book, the author hopes his family, some friends, and past co-workers may enjoy this book.

Introduction

If you are wondering what I am thinking about, places, time, people and things that would like to be doing.

I am writing this for my next book. I may have a lot of problems, maybe I ask questions too often.

I don’t give the answers, hey, that is for the people to read the book. I am not writing this book, not for a reason, cause I want to.

Why is the title of the book ‘The Uncommon Men’. You will find out. It was going to be the ‘The Uncommon Man’ but my son decided to write a few articles, included is ‘Twas the Night before Christmas (Logan Version).

So enjoy!

Town

Here we are in a town, Southeastern in the state, small between to small cities, right on the mid-east, in the area called the Great Lakes. The town was built in 1828 with Irish-Scottish families. The main street road is from the east coast to west coast.

In the middle 60’s, the state decided to build a highway parallel from the main road. With the highway open, the main road is not so busy.

The town is a village with a very liberal college in education and science and music. The public school does very well, high percent of the students go to college, not local.

Things changes all the time, stores closed, stores open. Houses are a little high in prices, people still buy the houses.
