Author Verl Frehner Interviewed at PageOneLitcom



May 19, 2005 -- Author Verl Frehner was interviewed recently at PageOneLit.com about his book "THE MYSTERIOUS HOWARD HUGHES REVEALED."

PageOneLit: Where did you grow up and were reading and writing a part of your life

Verl Frehner: My reading and writing actives were typical for a small town environment influenced by school work and the ever-competing farm work. During that time the number of people living in my community numbered about 500, with a small school library to match the size of the community. After my retirement I returned to Mesquite, Nevada and saw this community change into one of the fastest growing small cities (percentage-wise growth) in the nation.

PageOneLit: Who and what have been your greatest influences and why
Verl Frehner: My parents, naturally! Both were hard working, raised a large family on a small budget, were committed to their children, and were top quality individuals with a far-reaching view of life.

PageOneLit: Why do you write
Verl Frehner: I only write when the occasion merits it. Such as the preservation of history before it is lost, as was the case with this book, The Mysterious Howard Hughes Revealed. Or the decoding of petroglyph stories, revealing ancient-recorded story histories of Early Native Americans. The three petroglyph stories I have decoded since 2001 are more than two thousand years old.

PageOneLit: Much of the information in your book, "The Mysterious Howard Hughes Revealed," came from a confidential employee to Howard Hughes named Chuck Waldron. How did you meet Chuck and how did it come about to write a book together

Verl Frehner: Before my retirement I lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, a city familiar to Howard Hughes. It became the location where Chuck Waldron lived after Howard Hughes died. His residence was not too distant from mine which made it possible for me to become acquainted with him. After frequent discussions concerning his inside-assistant role with Howard Hughes the decision was made to work together in writing this book about him, recording his eye-opening experiences and insights.
