Robert learned to plow at the age of 12. He worked as an Ad Composer in newspapers for 17 years. In 1974, he went to work for a chemical plant in Lufkin, Texas, producing Formaldehyde and Industrial resins. He retired in 1999 as a Lead Operator Technician. It was after he retired that he wrote In the Shade of the Oaks. He still loves to work in his garden, spend time with his wife of 60 years, and their four children and grandchildren.показать меньше
