Elmwood Park: From First Love to True Love - Tapa blanda

In keeping with the style of fresh writing, Robert Collins has penned a "memoir" of ten year old Bob Conners who is on a quest to find a hidden Indian burial ground, not get beat up by bullies while searching for his true love. (Yes - ten year old boys do think of their true love). Unfortunately, several things stand in his way: His curfew, the sisters St. Dominic and his older brother Rick who dispenses his own mature advice that only a twelve year old has. A coming of age story, Elmwood Park is a story about a journey of going from his first love to his true love and life's up and downs during Bob's formative years of the 1960s. Things were simpler then and life uncomplicated.

Bob Collins is an ex-buffalo hunter and cowpuncher living in South Texas. He has participated in the July 4th rodeo at Field Store, Texas, which is held for the benefit of the Lutheran Ladies Auxiliary Cemetery Association. The rodeo has been sponsored by the Association since 1899. On most afternoons, you can find him eating lunch at Slovacek's Meat Market (and Exxon station) in Snook, Texas. He writes when the work is done for the day, enjoys a good cigar when he can afford it, and a long pull on a Budweiser beer.
