Sundays with Ron Rozelle

by Ron Rozelle

When Ron Rozelle and Bill Cornwell, the publisher of The Brazosport Facts, met for their annual lunch, Bill asked what current book Ron was writing. During lunch, they agreed that Ron should try his hand at a weekly column. Ron saw an opportunity both to allow his imagination to wander and to flex his writing muscles. And so, it started. Each week, readers opened their Sunday morning papers to find a column devoted to whatever topic was at hand, be it wizards, geese, holidays, loss, John Wayne, his feline quartet, or sandwiches. Sundays with Ron Rozelle is a collection of these Sunday columns, characterized by open conversational charm that invites the reader to linger over coffee. Just as Robert Frost's famous poem "The Pasture" concludes with "you come, too," Ron beckons to us: you come, too. Through this warm and thoughtful collection, we realize what really matters in our lives.

In a better world, Ron Rozelle would be writing for the Houston Chronicle each Sunday instead of his small town Brazosport Facts. I loved this little collection of his columns. He talks about newspapers and writing and friendship and family and, inexplicably, John Wayne. Loved this book.

What a sweet read! Reminiscent of Leon Hale's columns. Ron Rozelle a gifted storyteller.
