John is the author of three books: The Fume Factor, an amusing but nevertheless educational book about happenings and mishappenings in the electroplating industry; The Spring Creek Scrap Book, many pictures and paragraphs describing the town as it was in the 1930's and 1940's; and When Turkeys Talked and Politicians Were People, a whimsical reminiscence of adolescent life in rural Pennsylvania during the Great Depression of the 1930's.
