The Rub - Softcover

Bill Schroeder: Loved black and white TV in its infancy, and appeared on the John Reed King Show in 1950. Became an office boy in New York just because it put him a half a block from the New York Public Library. Lost his student exemption from the Korean Draft after dropping a college course. The Army shipped his ass to a remote base in North Korea to write reports for men who could not write declarative sentences. He returned to Rutgers full time on the GI Bill to major in English/Creative Writing. Became an advertising copywriter, public relations hack, and executive speechwriter for a major Defense Contractor. Married Pat Christopher, a genius intelligence, who won college scholarships in music, art, and English and had six gifted and talented children. Assumed the role of “Corporate Gypsy” and worked as Public Relations Director for several Blue Chip Companies. Took early retirement from the Defense contractor to start a business that sold things The Smithsonian displayed. Moved on to running a “Welfare to Work” program in Maryland for three years. After leaving that job, he decided to write. His first book, “John Frum, He Come,” is about an American missionary and a Solomons Islands shaman during WWII. A book, about a secret propaganda program created by Pres. Roosevelt and Nelson Rockefeller to flood Central and South America with decks of propaganda playing cards, was published next. He then wrote “In Der Fuehrer’s Face” to accompany a limited private printing of the lost deck with the Library of Congress. He collected everything he could find abut the assassination of Pres. Garfield and Charles Guiteau, the man who shot him, then published “The Innocent Assassin.” He followed this with “Seven Decks You Will Never Play Poker With.” Most recently turned his attention toward developing the Genuine American Flag Movement.
