Author Talk at Jesup Library

David Vela, author of “Hola Ranger,” will be speaking at the Jesup Memorial Library on July 28 at 9 a.m.

“Hola Ranger” chronicles the life story of a Latino growing up in the farmlands of Southeast Texas, his first visit to a national park and the impact that it had on his life. In addition, the experiences and people that he met during his 38 years of public service. Packed with family images and entertaining anecdotes, the author also provides a fascinating insight into what it takes to work in and protect a national park while honoring all who have served their country in protecting our nation’s most special places, and all of the stories that they contain.

This event is being co-sponsored by Sherman’s Books and copies of Vela’s book will be available to purchase at the event.
