Trout Valley, the Hertz Estate, and Curtiss FarmMy new book, Trout Valley, the Hertz Estate, and Curtiss Farm (Images of America), will be released in July 2008.  Featuring the pioneering American entrepreneurs John D. Hertz (founder of the rental car industry) and Otto Schnering of Curtiss Candy Company (inventor of Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars), it is a nonfiction snapshot of history told through photographs and accompanying text.  The book primarily focuses on the 1920s through 1940s, but concludes with a look at the Trout Valley traditions that continue today.
