Morgan is a playwright, a facilitator of
writing workshops in Colorado, and an author with
unique ability to capture and blend the pathos
and humor of human life. His book Goodbye,
Geraldine, is a
profoundly moving book that begins when America
was reeling from Pearl Harbor and facing
challenges like those we face today. It is the
story of one family and every family, of a woman
whose strength sustains her grandchildren through
the calamities of alcoholism, desertion, and
death.
Goodbye,
Geraldine is the true story of a
young man who literally fights his way to a new
life, and then finds peace and joy where he least
expected.
Bob
lives with his wife Susan in Boulder,
Colorado.
