Ken Hodge spent his boyhood years in central Oregon during the thirties and forties. The Great Depression somehow missed this region of snow-capped mountains overlooking small towns recently carved from irrigated sagebrush desert. Carefree days for kids. No television or video games, but something better-friends and freedom and the whole outdoors to find adventure. Holding a BBA degree from the University of Oregon, Hodge followed a career in public relations and community development. Now retired, he has written a light-hearted YA novel marinated in the history of those times, inspired by his own experiences and his off-the-wall sense of humor.
