Rodney's been a mediocre pool player for almost 50 years. Pepsi, word puzzles, and Dunkin coffee, together with his unique religion, are other loves - after his exceptional family. Retired from a distinguished career in NJ State government as a technical writer and contracting manager, writing prose is now his passion. A community volunteer in Hamilton Township where he lives with his patient wife of 42 years, Rod is just an average American, with personal ups and social challenges like everyone.
