Greetings from Rob

Thanks for visiting my web site! Throughout 2009, I'll be turning back the clock by 40 years to revisit key events from that exciting year of 1969. Keep checking back for updates to my blog on 1969: The Year Everything Changed, as well as stories related to my new books on Bruce Springsteen and baseball star Cecil Travis.
