Larry Scheckel grew up on a family farm in the hill country of southwestern Wisconsin, one of nine children. He attended eight years of a one room country school, four years of high school, off to the military for a spell, trained in electronics as a TV broadcast engineer, married, college, and started a teaching career. That career stretched over thirty eight years teaching physics and aerospace science to over four thousand high school students at Tomah, Wisconsin.  Larry has written several books and his latest is "Country School Days: true tales of a Wisconsin one-room school" and plans on sharing his writing and publishing process during this month's Local Author Spotlight.
